    Well Clem is perfectly useable as is, but, in no particular order.....
    2 small bits of welding
    Get engine tuned so it hopefully idles better when cold
    Fit new rear light cluster on off side (I've done near side)
    Fit reversing lights
    Hang new curtains when my mate gets round to finishing them (she offered to make them for my birthday last June!)
    Sort out some sort of fire suppression system
    Get the heater cables sorted so that the middle one moves all the way up and down
    Replace the 4 long window seals
    Replace the exhaust silencer and tail pipe (hoping nothing further back needs doing but...)
    Replace gear lever bushes etc so it's not quite so sloppy
    Replace fuel line behind fire wall (everything in front of firewall has been done inc fiddly joiner under spare wheel well)
    Go nuts with the waxoyl
    Sort out rock n roll bed hinges
    Buy a cover
    Save up for a retrosound radio
    Save a bit more to get seats covered
    Save up really hard to buy a propex heater

    Hmmm, it didn't seem such a long list when it was just in my head.
    Anyone wanna help?? Do you think this is a bit much for a couple of days at Techenders? ;)

    Looking forward to seeing it, so you've just got a "normal" bell tent and fashioning a connecting piece?

    Have a clear out in the insides, it's accumulated too much extra stuff over the winter. Replace the bedding and go camping.

    There's a load of other stuff I could do, but this is the most realistic stuff
