lol cheers dood :lol: 8)

Just got a few more jobs to do now and get my arese round to giving her a proper ol clean, which ive been putting off for an age :msn4:
 
Started sorting my list of winter jobs on the dough ball at the mo.

Sorted out a weird leak i had in the front which turned out to be a wiper spindle coming loose and not sealing correctly, changed both seals to make sure.

Restoring and repairing the rear hinge covers at the mo as the new replacement ones are ****! filling them and paining them back to a nice white.

Replaced the sunvisors as the old ones would not stay up and was doing my swede in, so replaced and work like a charm! sooo much whoter now as well :shock:

Took delivery of my 4 Devon table legs to use on my original table, been after some for years but eventually got some made by stan @ camper interiors, who turned and made me a set up :) look totally the same as the original and i can finally turn my interior table into one i can use outside. Awesome work and i just need to stain them/ wax them up the same colour as the rest of the wood. He also does exact match fittings 8)

Got a new rear hatch seal that will be fitted to the bus when i take it in for the roof and wheels to be painted Lotus white, around Feb 8) also got some new hub cap clips to fit as some of mine are bust.

Next step is to take the cooker and heat surround out of the original devon cooker unit for a big ol clean and respray of a few bits, ready for next year. (far to many fry ups i think! :lol: )

Looking at replacing the leisure battery as well next year to a high quality one as all the ones i have bought so far, only last about 3 years, so going big (which means unfortunately expensive! :cry: )

Gonna be looking sweat in the new year i hope! :)

Will pop up some pics soon. :mrgreen:
 
I'm liking your little cupboard behind the seat, what the story with that is it home made? Looks like just what I'm after!

Thanks :) no its not home made, its an original Devon cupboard, restored by me, with all the right bits n pieces. A great bit of kit and works like a charm :mrgreen: 8)
 
Finding time to do jobs on the bus at the mo is difficult! but i got my freshly turned table legs to match the original devon interior ones. They are a perfect match in length and use a nice wood to match original grain etc.





So set about with some awesome Black Bison wood stain & polish which will bring them up to the same colour as the rest of the interior and give them a nice protective coating.




The colour is spot on and i will give them another coat or 2 just to deepen it, but they are spot on really straight of the bat!

Looking forward to finally being able to use my Devon table outside in the awning etc :) :mrgreen:
 
Legs look awesome! Where did you get them? What polish did you use?

We are missing one... One!! Gah.

Cheers, the polish is Liberon Wax polish, black Bison. great stuff and comes in a variety of different colours.

Got the legs from here, but the old guy who does them is semi retired so he maybe a little slow on making them if he hasnt got them in stock.
