worst job on a van

[windsurfer]

Installing fecking glass any glass with fecking reputed genuine german fecking rubber :x my fecking arse :x next time it'll be status rubbers and feck the cost...... :x

I'm in agreement there, fitting window rubbers is a nightmare. Surprised I haven't broken the glass hitting it so hard trying to get the damn thing in :evil: :lol:

 

[easy]

Heater cables to exchangers for me......still ahve mine to do! anyone fancy it?! :lol:

 

[rubberdubber]

waxoyling! What a hideous hideos job, was coughing the stuff up for days :x

 

[K@rlos]

Removing an engine on a cross-dresser. :roll:

There again I haven't tried an early yet, but hopefully it's alot easier.

 

[jacks906]

so far is cutting all the old metal off from underneith all the sparks burning you to death while you lie under :lol:

 

[windsurfer]

earlybay steering box arms tickle me....and those are SA ones that aren`t rusted on!!!

Don't they ALWAYS need cutting off? :lol: without damaging the thread.....easy

Replacing alternator with engine in :x - that and removing the chuffing nut on the fan whilst it's out without trashing the alternator (which I did )

i only trashed my fan (which i did not know until the engine was back in and running)

Not being able to drive past a petrol station without knowing i need to re-fill again :lol:

my fuel gauge don't work either, i find it best to full up at every petrol station i get to :lol:

Having to install and re-install generator several times to get fan shimming correct - arggh! Next time i think i`ll just remove the engine!

i did this and i removed the engine

still have both these jobs to do

Heater cables to exchangers for me......still ahve mine to do! anyone fancy it?! :lol:

i would not dare remove/replace glass.

removing the rear wheels (bus is low) top engine bolts are a pain but as long as i've got the time (not rushed) i enjoy working on it ......... when i've finished :lol: its the weather that gets to me

My list and not in any particular order of hatedness:

1. Replacing front arches and trying to line them up correctly when they are cheap pattern parts.

2. Fitting a canvas on a Danbury poptop. How many bloody pop rivets?

[AGC]

Another hated job....... getting behind the speedo housing to replace bulbs then trapping a wire which fuses everything... this took me AGES to sort. So one small EASY job turns into a weekends work with lots of swearing and cursing :evil: :x :x :evil:..... just remembered another C**T of a job...... tracing intermittent indicator fault which started on the morning of MOT.... AND 2 busses ago when the gear lever linkage snapped a couple of hours before the new owner was due to collect (and pay me the balance)for his new van :roll:

 

[gibzy76]

Window seals for me..real pain in the arse. Then they go and leak when you've finished
