I've been rubbish at documenting my resto, but time to turn over a new leaf. I've a bunch of photos so will try to get them uploaded at some point. short of it is, got the Bus in December and after a long winter of removing tons of sand from everywhere imaginable, scraping and painting the underside, and refurbing most of the mechanicals, it passed the MOT in May with a single advisory for "missing rear seats"! Had a few great trips this summer, most notably 2 week tour of the National Parks - Snowdonia, Lake District, York Dales, N York moors, Peak. Little issue with rear brakes at one point, which I will document, but overall a great trip. Still loads to to, doing bits and pieces this summer in between trips, resume resto in earnest in the winter. Nicknamed Lofty as it's ridiculously high at the front for some reason. latebay forum has been incredibly useful.. Hopefully I can start giving back. Will
Today's progress... Replaced heat exchanger cables.. Nightmare to get out but eventually got them and managed to thread the (heavily greased) new ones in. Bare metalled and then ht painted some nearly new heat exchangers I picked up on eBay. At some point I'd like to weld up or resell the OG ones that were on there but mead to learn to weld first. Hopefully get the heat exchangers back on tomorrow then might finally have some heat in the cab!
Hi Will and welcome though I have to point out that I am not a crossover and neither am I ridiculously high.
