Thought I better update the thread a little for 2013.

I had the BRM'S powder coated satin black

Give the drums a clean up

Then back on for the stealth look :msn4:

Added a discreet sun pro tacho for that understated look

Got a lot of plans for this year lets see which ones come off..

Forward to ninove

Love the rims and the rev gauge Baz. Where is 'Mr T' gunner live now though? :lol:

 

[baz1875]

He'll have his pride of place somewhere no danger of that ...

Subtlety is not my strong point

I love this thread..

I love that beard even more!!!

 

[baz1875]

The beards no were near that now gutted.

Keep your eyes pealed for some up dates soon including an engine rebuild and interior bits..

Found some interesting mods in the inside the engine ?? Would that have anything to do with you ash.... ha ha

 

[superfunkyfresh]

Shame,

I would love a beard but being in the military stops that!! Glad to see this van getting looked after.. Big fan of lows!

 

[baz1875]

New ply interior panels drying nicely

And the new gauges to keep tabs on the new motor

Haha I would image so, what you found dude?

 

[baz1875]

Some crazy shim action in the case hiding some serious end float ill get the photo's up soon... I was laughing as the lad building my engine said it had gone to the top of his "worst he'd ever seen" list ...he reckoned more engineering went into the Bodge than doing it right all sweet now tho got a good case cheap and it's getting a new cam along with some other shiney bits

 

[dubscum]

Hahaha, not guilty. The dude I bought it off was a lad, parts of the interior were burnt from welding because he couldn't be arsed to take them out, he also cut through the loom by mistake so he twisted the wires back together then PVC taped them, I found out when the loom melted and filled the bus with smoke on the way to a show (has a new loom now) there was something wedged in the carb and the passenger window was propped up with a bit of wood lol. I arranged to buy it but had to wait a month (he used it daily as a builders van) because it was out of MOT, but it was cheap as chips, I thought I had found all the bodges but obviously not

 

[baz1875]

Oh mate the mechanics face as he was showing me was priceless he said and I quote " you need to find this bloke and make sure he never builds another engine ever".. I'm glad I found it now tho once it's done ill have a fully reconditioned motor with 75% new parts for well under half the price of a new one.. Plus the lad building it knows what he's doing.. Next to mine in his work shop is his own turbo'd beetle engine it's unreal..

if only I could squeeze it in the bus

Great work Baz, panels look 8)
For a second I thought that was your engine coz I couldn't read the txt on my phone! :shock:

How easy is it to install the gauges ( wiring)
Mind you I think between stuf and yourself we should be ok!
Would like oil pressure & temp for piece of mind.
Keep at it mate... I lost motivation with the weather and all.
