  10. Once its in dont rush dude

    Im happy with a slow steady progress
    The spare wheel carrier was a big false start hurdle for me lol

    I think it was steve that mentioned a while ago about a labourer for the crappy jobs?

    I think your reply was id watch them because i dont trust anyone
    When my bus is finished it gives me the ability to travel and stay on site where theres work
    I suppose ill become nomadic and follow the seasons lol but thats the plan

    Suppose im trying to say if you have busy periods and you want someone with sense who will listen and do what you need
    Then give me a shout
     
  11. cheers dude :thumbsup: I might just end up taking you up on that!! :cool:

    And the false start on the wheel carrier was due to my lungs being buggered, so dust n spraying really was out of the question!! :(

    Am almost back at 100% now though :D

  12. No problem dude

    The worlds changing and if we dont adapt then we will struggle
    Work is becoming migratory and seasonal just like it used to be especially for me

    If i can spend a week parked on a field down a few dirt tracks
    I can make a massive impact on the reason ive been asked there

    If i have to pop around for an hour 3 times a week it would cost them and me a lot more so i wouldent and they wouldent work together


    Im the paradox because all anyone at shows and weekends is the drunk/stoned nutter who wears green clothes

    Very few people actually put the effort into spending time with me
    Howver if they did they would realise im not daft and a have a rich and diverse history that has allowed me to survive and prosper so far

    I just think and therefore im not sure:thumbsup:
     
  13. A good choice of words there young sir :thumbsup:

  15. Same as fella, until then chin up and crack on. As was once said to me :-"Doug you cant fight the tide for the rest of your life !, the only thing can
    and will change is you." :thumbsup:

  16. Cleaned and painted the cooling fan

    Was a niggly pain to prep and the new tin of paint ive bought that was supposed to be satin actually has a shine to it and some strange reactions with the etch primer
    Im leaving it as it is though
    It wont be seen and at least its clean and protected now

  19. Ive reset the odometer on a mph speedo and fitted it to the instrument cluster after ive give it a good tidy up
    Its amazing how much gunk scrubs out of the textured plastic after 35 years

    Im in need of the brake warning lamp and the fuel gauge votage stabiliser to complete it if anyone has these?
