  1. I think it was just a priming issue on the mech pump, once I disconnected it after the pump in the engine bay and cranked it, it sprayed it around a little, will give it another try

    I'm very pleased with it.
     
  2. Well done mate, bet your chuffed to bits.
    K+ to you :thumbsup:
     
  3. Yea very pleased, still have no idea what the reason was for broken rockers though. But as long as it works I can live with that.

    I plan to get the brake callipers back on this afternoon and get the seats out of the loft, bus moving date is fastly approaching, need to get it rolling so it can be towed. Luckily it's only going 2 miles down the road.
     
  4. Great progress mate well done

    Good old landy power, despite a slipping clutch it still managed to drag the old girl home,
    And it now lives only 3 doors down from my new place which will be handy when we finally get to move in. Just a quick push away.

    My mum also made me a cake for my birthday

    What do ya think

    Chocolate and Guinness cake is awesome

    And the first cut had to be the rear 1/4

  17. Uggy has now arrived at our house, but unfortunately there still hasn't been any progress made, was hoping my dad would have finished it whilst in his care, but no

    His new home for the time being
    [​IMG]

    Had to remove a lot of solid wall and cut n weld up the gates and frame to make sure he can be kept safe

    All tucked away, this will eventually be a lean to / car port, but since I have destroyed our kitchen Iv been told that fitting a new one is the priority at the moment.
    Hopfully I'll get back on track with the bus in a month or two

  18. Ok my couple of months of house work seems to have been extended a little bit, but I have finally had a bit of time to get my stuff together and get back on the bus

    Car port in kit form

    And he now has a house, the space works out about 10 foot by 25 foot, more than enough space to play in, and much better than that dam tent lol

    Because its been over a year I can't really remember where I left work on the bus, so I started somewhere new

    Nasty Roof filler repair

    [​IMG]

    What came out

    [​IMG]

    And this is what I'm left with, still need to cut back the inner
    [​IMG]
    Think that may have caused this

  19. The other side on the roof wasn't as bad

    [​IMG]

    But the inner much worse
    [​IMG]

    I need to do a bit of resto research into this bit before I cut any more away,

    I also attacked a fee suspect looking patches on the roof too, only spall bits of surface rust and pitting - better than I was expecting tbh

    Have also been gifted a set of wheels from a guy at work who sadly lost his bus this summer due to a fuel leak =(

    So that's where I am up to as of this morning, it's been a bad year for bus work but it's looking promising for 2014
