Don't forget to remove the paint from the holes where the wheel nuts go :msn4:

Engine will look nice when finished

The rear arch looks OK in the pic (as does the bus) 8)

Looking great. What tyres are they and did they come with the white stripe?

Cheers

Nice job on the seats and glad it looks to be good regarding the engine 8)

A big update

Seat turned out canny, replaced the coconut/horsehair padding, stuff under it for springs and painted the frame. Used stainless allenhead bolts for the two halfs.

Cocked up one little side but wont notice it hopefully

Better than it was anyway :shock:

Engine in

Fitted fuel lines

Filled gearbox with oil and fitted vacuum hose/valve

Gonna adjust clutch and start on the rear electrics tommorow if I have time

Got a passenger seat as well cheap off Steve

Had like 3 covers over each other!, stripped it. Couple springs broke so on fixing them now before paint. Not the best seat but was cheap and will repair nice

Fitted new throttle tube today, Evie inspecting it

Repaired springs on seat then painted

Fitted exhaust and hooked up carb

The bus started ok, so thought I'd test the gears. Worked so took it for a spin round the estate!

Works fine, need carb adjusted and the clutch pedal adjusting but otherwise drives fine. Not had it over 20mph though. Well happy anyway

Tested the Dynamo and it's charging the battery so happy too as never tested the dynamo, just changed the brushes.

I'm not sure if my regulator is ok or if there's a bulb out in the dash as the generator light doesn't light up when you switch the ignition on. All the others are fine.

Still in the grand scheme of things happy with today's progress.

Skint now though so won't be any mots anytime soon still gives me time to iron out the little issues

Seats look great, got mine to do in a few weeks, where did you get the covers from?
