I AM A FRAUD!! Just reading back through my posts I realise I did not live up to this statement but went to the USA instead .... a visit to the So Cal Speed shop was the highlight for me (so sad eh?)

I spent the odd day or three over the winter (brrh!) on the eternally creeping rust and it was covered in a layer of thick dust and cats footprints (the little swine) so I gave the old bus a 20 minute blast with my Karcher.

Now found the soddin' radiators leaking so had to remove it, unfortunately after sitting nice a snug in the same place since 1986 the rad would not come out without a fight. Three hours later and phew its out and I am a happy chappy.

Good to see you working on the van. Send some of that sun to Normandy, I need to blead the brakes on my Morris Traveller.

They are BBS style alloys. I am not a particular fan but I do like the way the van sits on them
