    They have something planned so it would be polite to get out of their way as arranged. :thumbsup:

  5. I still have a lot to learn.

    When I got this bus I had an office job I hated and had only ever done light tinkering on my other vans, certainly no welding or engine stuff more than a basic service.

    Now I work in a resto garage.
     
  6. I like where I work now

    Ahh, cool! I am just scratching the surface myself, I find I like the mechanics better than the bodywork side of things!
     
  9. i understand steve but polite and cost are two seperate words

    Honestly im thinking about it but the cost of the fuel to get there would cost about the same as the steering coupling i need
     
  10. I quit the day job and went back to college to learn about bodywork

  16. Very much so and a lot more than I used to be.

    I like working on my van a bit less than I used to. But it's different when it's what you do all day.

  18. Liking the Yorkie. Maybe the only advantage that early indicators have over late ones. ;)
     
  19. One thing led to another after the cab floor and front arch work and before I knew it I ended up spending the next 5 months of evenings and weekends in work getting Hank ready for paint

    Lots of flatting, tweaking, more primer, more flatting and we were ready for some colour

    Roof first
