  1. Tomorrow’s Job: Just picked up the radiator, fans & bracket to mount underneath the bus at a later date! Needs cleaning up, painting and checking that there are no holes in it...fingers crossed! I believe it was originally made to fit between the chassis legs on a split screen so hoping it should be an ok fit for the bay! Also need to get the fans still work.

    Just taken an order of paint from Buzzweld for painting various bits. Giving their 2k paint in a two chamber rattle can a try, anyone used it before?
    I don’t have a compressor (yet - on my list to Santa though) and although I’ve been achieving some decent results with normal spray paint and prepping properly with primers, sanding etc I thought the 2k stuff was worth a punt!

    Also done the underneath in black Upol Raptor paint, didn't get any good pictures of that I'm afraid. but have since gone over it with colour and have one picture, below. I'm so happy with the finish underneath and will try to get some better photos. That stuff sets rock hard, I can't even begin to contemplate how you would remove it if you needed to!

    Engine bay has also been done so looking forward to getting that in soon. Pictures of inside as soon as I get chance to take some!

  5. Anyone had experience of ordering from Dormobile on here? I've been trying to get hold of them all week but to no avail. Have a big parts order I need to put in for building to pop top back up.
     
  6. Yep, Iv'e called in and bought stuff on several occasions. It's not a big outfit anymore just two of them. The manager, Steve is a good bloke. Iv'e never had an issue.
