Solved my tarboard problem.

Used dynamat on the roof of the engine bay,and then some board painted up black, neatened up the engine bay no end.

Then put some more dynamat under the westy bed, and used some removable soundproofing under the rear cusion.











Last of all tidied up nipper ride, and put a new plate on it for him  :

busy few days, no pics, sorry

all me arches and my belly pans are now colour coded, bit rough, but look miles better,
bit of polish on my wheels  :

removed and fitted my new SS header, got rid of the heat exchangers, and put on SS J tubes, new tinwear  without heater holes

few more thing to do tommorow night, fit new battery, SS breather box/tube, ext oil cooler

wash and brush up, and then early to bed for VoWo

mate there is no way i am putting my hand in a confined area with a spinning ninja star!!

loads of jobs done this weekend over at sunny Harlow

pumped the beam full of grease to help improve the annoying squeeks, adjusted the new throttle cable i fitted last week and adjusted the hand brake, as 1 side i could spin the wheels when it was jacked up

Took the waterdamaged rear hatch door panel off, sound proofed it and fitted new one i made.




painted and Fitted another steering box, and new drag link, f**cker of a job, had to cut the old one off, as the arm was solid, we then used a press the get the arm off. No more knocking, just a bit of fine tuning needed, old box available if anyone needs one for exchange





Leaky rocker cover, so fitted some shiney scat ones i picked up at volksworld

and final job of the day, 1 spline extra on the LH side to even out the rear, as it was an inch out (higher) that side





if only it was this low  , front was jacked up to do the steering box   

Been a busy week

Front end was sitting a little too high, so had a play with the adjusters

before




after






Plus engine and box are now out, box off for a rebuild next week

loooooking really good Mr Resto, i missed this thread completely , its suprising how much work goes into these things, i dread to think

pic from a hot rod show i went to saturday

now raised back up an inch, as i was kissing tarmac with the beam, made for a bumpy ride

i also fitted a recon steering box

I've often thought about added a deeper sump to my bus Some people seem to be for this and others against..?
How are you finding it?
Can you add anymore to that bus...?

I have decided (after some running problems over the weekend) that I must start to do some of my own maintenance Fancy giving me a few pointers?

After a drama with running summer oil in winter conditions,its now up and running again. Blew the seal on my remote oil filter running 20/50 summer oil. After changing to 10/40 and swapping the golf filter for a new Fram it seems to be okay again
