And today’s job was to replace the dash bulbs. I popped the top off to find this. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200618/9f9cfa47c89b69717fe9523fc72a7b18.jpg But luckily, I had accidentally bought a repair bulb. So I linked them together and Boths dials are now illuminated. https://uploads.tapata...

When I bought the van, it had one pc speaker jammed under the seat and one speaker jammed into the dash! So I dug out an old head unit I had under the bed. And bought some pioneer speakers. Fitted them in the doors and the 6x9s into the bench panel. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200618/d174ec72...

Finally got the van back after over 2 weeks! Next in the list was to quieten it down as it was deafening at 55mph. Out with old plastic engine cover that had broken clasps. And out with whatever the previous owner had tried to use! https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200618/2927248900e6c74afb9c1c4f3f...

Yeah, we’ve all been there. Keep up the good work. Good to get another van back to a more sensible spec. I guess we should all take a magnet with us when we buy old vehicles, but I guess deep down we don’t to find anything wrong with it. Mind already made up! Good Luck, very rewarding once done. My...

Very familiar. I wouldn’t place any bets on your flawless bodywork looking flawless for too long either. These buses rot from the inside out if they’ve been camped in, due to condensation. That’s what happened at the base of the fridge panel. Learn to weld, otherwise you need deep deep pockets. But...

Thanks guys! I think the paintwork was finished about 2 years ago. She has a little rust on the bottom of the the tailgate and on the left front corner above the indicator, nothing I can’t sort myself tho.
It’s only been slept in once.

Next up, I dropped it to the garage to sort an oil leak and have a general check over! That’s when I had the phone call! “Pop up mate, you need to see this!” My mind is still blown! The bodywork of the van is immaculate! It’s had new fuel lines, new brake callipers and a lot more. But on close inspe...

1st job was to remove the horrible tints from the front windows and give the interior a good scrub. I’m a valeter myself so that was easy! https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200610/475f9132750801ae767f8d84704eba19.jpg Then onto the interior. The bed needed taking apart and rebuilding with the correc...
