Ye originally it meant I could get a project in the corner & my missus car across the drive. Access was from the side. I've now dropped the curb at the front & moved all the uneven paving slab steps upto the front of the house. It means we will have a 4 car driveway. Best of all it means when my bus is finished I can park it under the front room window.
Paving, the extended wall down to the pavement & the pillars will be finished tomorrow. Last job is steps up to the front door being finished in Egyptian marble.
Final pics of my driveway I promise. Sorry to be sad but this has been a long time coming & I'm really happy. Pics of the van will follow next week.
Got back in gear & started doing a bit to the bus. I've had some welding done so it's been away for a while. I had a new battery tray fitted, new rear valance, patches under the front seats, new front floor 1/2 on the drivers side & rear arch patches. Biggest job was the boot floor. I rubbed down the roof & satin lacquered the top half of the van. Haven't got pics as it's dark & dingy in the unit. I'll wait until it's dry & roll it outside. In the meantime I've refitted lights, sidemarkers, bumpers, door handles & locks. Hoping to bribe anyone local to help fit the windows.
Had a few hours this afternoon so I decided to clean up the back seats. This is the 1st wash. I ended up using tar & glue remover as they were minging. I then rubbed down the rear seat hinge & gave it a coat of primer.
I need to sort through my seat belts & work out if it would be better to buy new rear inertia belts for the rear bench & 2 lap belts for the centre seat. Then 2 new inertia belts for the front seats.
Hi all, long time no progress. Unfortunately due to work & private issues I may have to sell my bus. Really unsure on how to value it. Basically all welding done & paint blended. Top half rubbed down & satin lacquered. All new window rubbers & original green tint glass. All parts removed are still here. Have a read through the thread & let me know a genuine value. Only thing it never came with is an engine but I so have a fully rebuilt 1641cc in my unit. It's a bad time for me to have toys so needs must. This isn't a for sale thread just gauging a value. Would someone local be able to come over & give an honest opinion on value?? I'm in Bristol.
