I fitted the bumper back on the van now it is back from paint:

I started on the interior too:

It will all need a real good clean when it's done. I will buy new cab mats from Slough this week end...

Took out engine for first time and cleaned all the engine bay up with gunk. Now awaiting new 2110 engine from the states. Really chuffed with myself. If I can do it anybody can!

This week.... I found my bay had broken a valve less than 4000 miles after an engine rebuild

One new valve later, and it was ready to go again. Sadly, it's taken me 5 days to get the parts and to sort everything out to a standard I'm happy with.

Engine out...

In bits...

And back in...

I also took the opportunity to swap my repro heat exchanger innards heat exchanger for a genuine section...

Repro Vs Genuine...

And then I heatwrapped the heat exchangers to keep it even warmer! apparently this makes a big difference - I'm now getting warm air within 5 minutes but have only driven about 5 miles since getting the engine running again. Certainly not as chilly as before

Finally, I sorted my fuel gauge problems and fitted some coloured heater knobs (thanks Saraj)

What a productive week, shame I originally took the week off to weld up my bug Won't be able to do that until Christmas now...

Thats an M156: heavy-duty oil bath air cleaner. used in dry / sandy /dusty enviroments, worth a few quid to the split bus chaps :wink:

 

[rustydiver]

Replaiced the inlet manifold rubbers yesterday A BIG THANKS TO MATT AKA LOXY for his instructions on how to do it. Job was'nt a bad as i thought it would be. Supprising how such a small thing makes a big difference to the engine.
