Connected my flat screen television situated in the rear of the bus, to the DVD headunit in the front.
Hid all the wires making it a neat job. Now all i need is a decent Leisure battery to power it all.
Took her out to my mates unit in Willenhall to drop a wheel off which is going to be refurbed.
Fuelled her up ready for the cruise to Wickstead Park tomorrow morning. 8)
Put the duff leisure battery i possess on charge so at least i have a little audio power on the journey in the morning.
Tomorrow I intend to purchase a new leisure battery from 'Kwik fit' which is just a mile up the road from Wickstead park

Cabled up for oil pressure and temp gauges. Installed senders, turned engine over found oil pissing out all joints on the manifold and petrol dribbling from spindles on carb!! Scratched head, ordered new spindle bushes off the man on flea bay, looked at demon tweaks for a 4 way oil sender manifold. Cleaned up all the mess and put her back in the garage!

 

[OLIVE-BAY]

the sun is shining bright this morning so before I head off to bed (on night shifts not just a lazy arse) I'm going to give her a wash, polish, glaze, and wax, as its currently full of bird poo.....that wasnt there yesterday :evil:

 

[Danbury Doug]

I visited mine today, and told it I'd be back again soon, to take it out for a nice spin.

 

[funkyhippo]

The sliding door decided to spit a few bits out last night so spent today stripping door down, cleaning the California crap out of it & ordering new bits to put it back together....

 

[who?1]

Stripped down, cleaned and fitted the stock carb I picked up from Sparkywig.
Fitted the glovebox card also courtesy of Sparkwig! Thanks
Fitted new headlining from MorcambeandWise, good fit overall but does need trimming to make good in places!
Happy with my acheivements!

Gave the wheels a quick coat of paint and polished the hubcaps as I've been asked to take a friends daughter and her 2 friends to their prom on Thursday , I hope they wont be disappointed at least the hubcaps are shiney :lol:

Gave the Bus a quick wash down with the hose and then took it for a MOT. Having passed that i dryed it off and put it away for 3 weeks while i go back to work.
Hope the weathers better when i get back from work, lots of camping booked.
