This last week or so I've been so pissed of with the bus I couldn't really b bothered to go in the garage or do anything to it.
Last weekend was such a nightmare trying to sort my electrics out I really hit a low point with it!
I couldn't fig out why fuses were blowing ?

I was advised a local auto electrician from the Lowestoft area.
He and his mate came round today to have a look at the bus.
Turns out the plonker who I purchased the bus from had ( surprise surprise ) wired up several things wrong.
2 hours later and everything is working hunky dory
Anyone who lives in the east anglia area ( norwich , Lowestoft ) this chap sure knows his stuff!

Thanks graham lyall for the advice




So I'm a happy chap

Gotta get my carb sorted , then mot , resisted and I'm on the road !

[dazza1975]

Good news bud! Now hurry up and get it on the road :lol:

 

[shiplee123]

Thanks guys!
I'm really pleased. It's taken longer than I hoped. It was ment to b a quick and easy project , well that was what I intended as we have baby number 3 arriving like very very soon !
Turned out to b a big head ache but nearly there now !

 

[shiplee123]

Anyway did I mention

Baby Brayden arrived this morning , delivered by me on the floor of our living room :lol:

 

[shiplee123]

By the time my wife realised things were on the move which was around 1.15am this morning , got me out of bed , we had about 15 mins before it all kicked off!

Midwife had her phone turned off , the hospital is 30 mins away ( norwich n Norfolk ) so home birth is what was gonna happen !
It's what u get for living in the sticks !

All happened very quick.
Wife n baby doing nicely!
Ambulance and hospital midwives were way to late to get in on any action lol !

So that's the end of our mental 9 months. The reason I sold the 68 panel and the reason I got my westy , all to fit the growing family in !

Keep u all informed with our progress and hopefully see u at some festivals later this year-
Me my wife n our 3 boys

Give it a few weeks and we will b rearing to go !
