Rustoration

Good enough? Not really, so made one the right size.

Pictured below, the original (too long), the breather tank lug, and the new improved version.

Well, first visit to the van today, in a very long time. Still some condensation after that brutal cold spell followed by unseasonably warm weather that we have currently.

Generator started ok, MIG still working and the welding wire doesn’t seem to have rusted.

Put my back out refilling the gen from a 20L jerrycan, but not too badly - I can still walk after a fashion!

Hoping to benefit from the zen activity of restoration again, have to keep busy to distract myself from my newly widowed status. Quite what I’ll do with the van when it’s done I’ve yet to work out. The plan was always for trips with my wife, but the game’s a bogey on that one.

Damn, I’m so sorry to read things have gone as they have.
Good luck with the Zen and whatever you decide to do with the van.
Brian.
