I won a cup for runner up in the 1968 - 1978 section at our local Walton on the Naze vehicle show, first prize I have won with it.

Lined up the passenger door, fitted the door rubber and went to work on the interior door handle for the lock. I've got a brand new VAG door and they obviously mount the handle further forward on later buses. Had to weld in a couple of captive nuts so the handle was nearer the door lock so the rod could reach it. Then fitted the front bumper in its final place and fitted the front number plate. Also sprayed up the n/s door mirror but while it was drying in the sun, hung up from the Coleman shelter gently swaying in the breeze, my son thought it would be a good idea to swing it backwards and forwards!! Looks like it'll need a rubbing down and doing again

I went camping in Yorkshire

 

[Nugsy]

Bought a £10 piece of anti rot carpet from Camper jam, and then using the hardboard templates in the back hatch/engine cover/boot part cut it out to smarten it all up a bit.

One piece did the floor, both sides below the headlining and the tailgate panel and looks far better than peeling vinyl and mulched hardboard

Made a seat for my dog. He likes it a lot better then riding in the hot crate in the back seat area of the bus.

Drove it to nearby Saltney so Steve at Gasure can fit new rear brake backing plates, a new clutch bearing, and a couple of minor bits. Already climbing the walls with no van to play with.

Had a very cold last hour of our journey home from Bilbao when our windscreen smashed through 50-odd miles from home!!

Starting the van was becoming a bit of a problem whether hot or cold, I had thought it was a fuel supply problem. It was taking half a dozen goes at it, to get the engine to finally catch.

It turns out the tappets needed adjusting as they were too tight. Now starts right up without any problems. Just shows its usually something fairly simple when things go wrong :roll:

It took a good 10 minutes to clear all the bits of glass out of the van. The recovery people at Heritage didn't want to know becase "windscreens aren't mechanical" and Autoglass can't get me a new screen until Wednesday, so it was a case of coats on, hoods up, hang on to the pop top and brave the elements at 40mph!!

thank goodness for these newfangled laminated windscreens. At least it wont happen to you again.

Drove through a mountain pass in Southern Germany near to the Swiss border
At some points there may have been more than 50 vehicles behind us doing 20 mph fully loaded - there wernt any pull in points!

Now enjoying a beer at our new campsite
