    It's all good. Really. Have faith. :thumbsup:

    It better be! Later in the year when I have certain works finished, that should have and would have been complete months ago if not for my distractions this year, I'm going on a tour of britain visiting all (if anyone'll have me) the kind people on here who have taken the trouble to chat to me.
    I will be admiring restorations, groovy interiors and having a nice cup of tea I hope... OK, actually I'm going to drag you to the pub and sleep on your drive. :)

    I know for sure it's well over 10 years since I had a holiday, and it may be winter when I set off, but I just don't give a hoot. I may not come back.:)

    I wanted to spruce of the scruffy box the heater is installed in. I had a better look at the box which seems like it was a purpose built thing rather than a bodge up. But there are studs from the heater through the box which are spinning with the nuts but not undoing so I can't take it apart. :( I only had a few minutes today, Busy, busy. Might have a look at the sliding door repair tomorrow as I'm only doing this weekends now and already spent Saturday working on someone elses.
     
  12. Cut the nuts of with a cutting disc on a dremmel type tool
    If your steady and carefull you will manage to save the thread on the studs

    ...and take off all the deluxe trim, remove all the clips, treat every hole and surrounding pitted rust and paint, install new clips and fit trim... Judging by the one I took off for a look. This bus will turn to dust now it's in the uk if I don't stop before it starts.
