It could be the weekend to start .... removing the westy interior. Not to sell, but over the next few weeks want to get some soundproofing in, replace the floor, replace the wood panels. Discovery time with fingers crossed!

Would love to say what ill be doing but dont know if im allowed too..but it involves a Single Cab and a bus :wink: :lol:
 
What I want to do: clear the bus out and get it ready for collection (going to Kulkklassix next week)

What the wife wants me to do: fix the wardrobe, re-hang door for understairs cupboard, put xmas dec's back in loft (even though she got them out!), tidy up the garden.

Any bets on what I'll end up doing :)
 
With the help of few friends i will trying to get me new 10" x 19" workshop over the garage roof :shock: and in to the back garden.

Then i've got to sort the base and if there's time actually build it :)

Hopefully getting my bus back from having a new 1641 fitted :D and cleaning my Fastback as I unfortunately have to sell it :( .

Partial to a type 3, info/pics please. Took my mate Chris to hospital in my '69 after he fell off his TZR250 at Cadwell, then the pair of us went to Le Man for the 24hr (in the fastback). Think that was '87. Was the year Jaguar came back to the race and won! Party or what?!!
Anyhow, sorry you have to part with it, be assured if were to come in my direction it would be going to a loving home! As before, info/pics please.
Oh, and my boy has a hockey tournament on Sunday, 9.30 to 1.00pm, so lunch and that's the day gone effectively. Otherwise, paperwork from April last year and the usual exciting domestic stuff (hoover,dust,laundry etc). Anyone want a swap? Especially if you can do the front brakes, all the parts are there, I'll keep the tea flowing....
 
Removing the 4" narrowed front beam and fitting the brand new standard one from Red9. Need to get hold of a couple of lower torsion arms as the shock mounts on the ones I've got got mullered when I had to grind off the old shocks (yes, they were stuck solid!). Anyone know where I can get some without waiting for 4 weeks from somewhere like CoolAir?
