Today, after work, I change the tail pipe of the exhaust. The old one was rusted through Hopefully this stainless one will last longer than 18 months!!! Also fitted new dash bulbs, as the originals had all blown, will take a picture later when it's dark enough to appreciate them. Anyone else worked on their van today??
Fitted new number plates, stuck on some CCTV stickers and installed CCTV. Last bit inst strictly van related. Oh and took the con rods off the crank shaft (hehe shaft)
waxoyled the inside of the sliding door,did a running repair on some rust on the underneath of the slidey, had a rummage around the stereo electrics to make sure there was power and repaired the overhead locker door. May venture inside the door cards in the morning as my wing mirrors keep drooping.......
Yep, I've been tinkering with the van. Took my Kadrons off and gave them a good clean and reset the accelerator squirt tube as I noticed one was squirting down the wall off the venturi also adjusted the amount off squirt on both then fitted new extra long mixture screw on the left carb witch I 're-engineered' cutting it in half and rejoining with a cv coupling from a model shop so now I can adjust the mixture easily(it used to foul on the fan shroud), took it for a quick spin,no more hesitation upon hard acceleration. Just need to adjust the timing slightly and may readjust the amount of squirt tomorrow. Am quite satisfied for achieving something today so have already opened my first tinny
Not really touched the van, but I had delivered some new mirrors for the pick up in the week, so I took them apart to spray them the same colour as the van. Trial fit in the week I can see lots more with these, not like the small round ones I had fitted.
Yep got to work on the van finally after the day job. Fabricated some stencilling for the roof, got to do a job for the wife first then it is all mine. Sorted heat exchangers out and made sure all connections are air tight. Changed air filter and hoses Cleaned up engine bay. Tommorrow oil change and carb tune (which i will start a thread for)
Fitted, plumbed and wired the new fridge today. which entailed drilling a hole for the flue, thats what had been putting me off doing it, but it doesn't look too bad
I worked on the van most of the day but its been one step forward 3 steps backwards On Dr owens advice im going to get pished and sit in the chill out tent
I also took the hair dryer and stanley blade to the old stickers, Some people on here told me I'm too old to be "Jason Kewl" One dated back to 2001, but is now in the bin !! A couple were save and resited to the coolbox ^-^
