Wrapped it up in a nice Maypole cover while I sort a gearbox for it.
 
Loaded it with Turkey & pressies and then we went round to spend the day with my in-laws :D first Christmas day run in the camper 8)
 
Well, I didn't do this, but my hubby did. :D He got me a new motor for my bus, for Christmas! :D It actually brought tears to my eyes I was so surprised! LOL :D



It's a 1776 with a 110cam and some kind of special heads, or something like that. I need to text the friend he got it threw and ask her what it is exactly.

I'm pretty stoked about it though.

Went up to the body shop and removed the dash ready for the cab area to be prepped for paint

Bolted on a repro rear bumper, tricky getting the holes 'spot on' though!



Is that the slash cut type rear bumper?
I'm in need of a new one for mine but undecided whats best all the used ones are bent it seems
How do you find fitment?

Picked the ole girl up from Balls'd. Drove it 60 miles home a not a knock or a bang to be heard. Chuffed.

It looks like a bull wanting to ram something, but that's just all my cold medication doing my thinking today.

Started to fit back bumper
Could not get the bumper irons for a cross over
So we are going to cut some early bay ones

Think they're on upside down, or at least it looks like it on my phone :eek:

Definitely wrong, crossover brackets are a lot shorter that early ones and don't have as much of an angle on them, your bumper is set way too low and too far away
 
Given the cab area a good luck of acid paste to try getting the horrid black tar type paint off, left it doing its stuff gone from this to this, another go over and it should all be back to bare metal.
