Hello chris , welcome to the club. When I come round this week we can do a compression test together. I pulled this from the wiki earlier Compression pressures - Bar (psi) Engine. Min Typical Max diff Air Cooled 2.0 5 (73) 6 (87) ~ 9 (131) 3 (44) also after looking at the pics that I took today of y...

It's a simple mod, will take a couple of hours max. You will have to mark and drill the new holes for the inner spots . Use the new grill to get the spot postion just right , measure and check a few times before drilling and then they can be wired up to your existing full beam circuit. Job done

That early sliding door you have there ( in good condition) is hard to come by , I was after one before I repaired mine and couldn't find one for ages, people would just laugh at me when I said I was looking for one and then when I did the bloke wanted £300 for it . I'd eBay it , I think you'd get a...

I use old washing machine drums, they are free and are perfect for a fire pit

I use a sealey supermig 185 which I picked up 2nd hand for £350 . It's brilliant

I cut out the rot, got a sheet of steel and made a new piece to fit , pretty much the same as what jaylo264 has just said

I don't think that a new front panel is needed , that is fixable , mine was the same

They are easy enough to fit but was just wondering if it's possible to repaint the leather as they are slightly the wrong color (looked right in pics but not when I got there) also what should I do Or use to restore the leather b...

I'd use a mixture of everything , dremel, sandpaper, wire wheel etc. But don't use that crap paint from halfords . It reacts badly to auto paint from the professionals . I've had to painstaking remove all of it on my bus before I sprayed it properly. And don't forget to sort out the back of the seam...

Had this on mine.......it lasted 6 months.......enough said

id say the first one, but youll have to get the runners for them as there not supplied. the second seat looks like its trimmed by a 5 year old

I've got a spare manual for your a/c van if you need one
