Oregon Patina 71 Deluxe

[Barkafer]

Long overdue update :roll:
I had a pleasant surprise the other day whilst fitting my UK rear light cluster. Check it out!
Took the near side lens off


And was very excited to see this inside :lol:


Opened it up to find a key! and it only fits all the doors and ignition!


Cool or what!


Only got the front side lights to do and replace the long steering link arms (somebody bent them!) and we'll be ready for MOT.
Then I'll probably have to sell as I've less than no money and it's getting worse

I was born with nothing and I've still got most of it left!!! :?

I nearly pissed myself with excitement :lol: sad old git that I am :lol:
Got my side lights wired today, but no main beam? I think the relay is kaput? No clicking nothing! Visit to GSF in the morning beckons.

Envy face on right now :lol:
This bus looks like it spent a lot of time down your way!
One patch of rust in the battery tray and that's it, not even the cab floors need doing!

Sadly, I have to sell as the financial cuts mean I've been pay frozen for three years and no OT either.
Still, at least I am lucky enough to have a job!

5,500 as is or 6,500 mot'd n tarted up a little! I'll start a for sale thread soon :roll:

 

[Barkafer]

Failed the MOT today on
1. No washers :roll:
2. Two steering ball joint boots split
3. Two small holes in the battery tray

Result!
I plated the tray already and will fix the other two problems in the morning. Scott of Belamy Motors was amazed how solid the old Bus was! Only £35 for the MOT too
