Cheers mucka .... It's the lack of a decent sized garage that's the problem...I've got to meet up with ya soon to drop the cb off
 
Today I fitted front heater tube pipe, sorted out the illumination on my clocks, and checked my speedo to discover that the cable has broken .....grrr! New one on order from JK. Loving my new toy :D
 
Today I put it on the trailer and brought it home :D
Then I gave it a bath, plugged a vac. leak, set the choke, and talked nice to it. Tommorrow I go to the courthouse and make it all legal.
 
Fitted new bushes to the rear gear link cage and also an Empi quickshift kit to the gear stick. Made a big difference, no longer stirring a bowel of custard. Now to save up for a proper gear stick (bugtech), but that can wait for next winter I think.

Tomorrow will be clearing out the van and starting the prep work for a full spray..
 
I went and visited my bus today, at its winter 'digs'.
I started it up, and wished it a Happy New Year! :mrgreen:

Happy New Year everyone! :D
 
Today I will be priming my tinware, ready for some nice gloss black paint :mrgreen: and cleaning the dynamo stand and inlet manifold.
 
HAPPY NEW YEAR :D

We are planning to take Razzle out for a run today & go to the The Brooklands Museum for the New Years Day gathering

Own a Bay?......Feel the love!
 
Worked in the garage today, started it, moved it over so I could build a work bench to start the project engine on, and thought how better it looked nice and dry (if a bit dusty) in its first winter in the garage as it was pi££ing it down outside usually looking sorry for its self outside :D
 
Nice day so took the cover off air'd out and started her up, fired up first time which was nice, left on tick-over for half hour while working on daily motor, covered back over and will wait now till weather finally picks up to work on it
 
Stripped out the rear bed and cupboards. Trial fitted the wardrobe and looked at how to mount up the buddy seat. Removed the floor to look for rust..

Made some J-Channelesq supports for the headlining and made up some supports. Ordered some bits and bobs for the van too.

Cannot wait to get the new Westy interior in, even if it is a bodge.
 
Hi Foz
you wont be disappointed with the westy louvre window knobs,but be warned once you start to bling you cant stop. I also recommend the MCJ billet door pulls,handbrake handles,sliding door handle and 56deluxe heavy front door window winders. Yes i have them all and no money in the bank...DOH! :oops: But hey you cant take it with you.Who wants to be the richest man in the graveyard :lol:
