I heat wrapped the manifolds on a mates 4.6 HSE and it was no hotter..

Personally i never refit the tin...

Looks to be coming together, ya going to do a first start video?

Yer!!

A soft shoe brush and some Autofinesse "hide cleaner" good stuff...

It will change colour ;)

My seats were yellow David.....................

I cleaned them, and they became white!! LOL

Old...

clean!!

Henry.....

I'd refurb it ;)

Mine is desperate!!

Sealed the pollen filter covers..

Waxoyled the sills..

on the inside too..

Got the "Propane Propane" working well too, replaced some lines that were only a small explosive hazard...

scalding hot manifold eh? "no big deal"

There is also an Engine Oil cooler, any dampness around there?

Marty that looks the balls!!

Love it!!

Need something like that in mine, it still has the tiny nav screen at the moment!!!

Where did you disconnect them? Could be glove box light or sun visor mirror lights?

Hiya Richard..

The Footwell lights and sunvisor lights are ok IIRC..

The battery could be left for over 2 weeks without issue, after plugging in the Centre main interior light and rear interior light, the battery was flat within a day!

Odd.

I've had the old bus on the road for a few months now, and driven her when i can..

I could leave her for over 2 weeks unaffected..

However i didn't have the interior lights connected...

Yesterday i connected the lights, and the day after the battery was down to 9v, even though they didn't stay on...

I've recharged the battery and all is well, it is important to know, she had sat a week, before i added the lights...

I noted the Map reading lights in the main front light didn't work, could the car still pass a currant through even if the bulb was kapput, the oddity is BOTH map reading bulbs are knackered. which seems unlikely to be coincidental?

Sounds like a fun day out!!

Nice turn out...

Mine need replacing in an ideal world. I was a tad brutish when i replaced them, and might of ruined the threads!!

exhaust is junk though!!

Will your other project be seeing a Janspeed exhaust or something similar?

Hiya Richard..

yes it has filler, it has broken through the paint here!!

Hiya gents..

When fiddling around with the rear of the car i noticed the rear bumper mount, the outrigger from the chassis has snapped in half..

corrosion would be my main culprit, but in fiddling with it, the rust is only surface.

could they break in the event of a slight shunt up the rear?

the bumper is also slightly out of alignment, i guess a fabricated bracket would be the way forward?

Oh and there is this...

any idea as to why that would be there?

a dent repair, maybe?

Cheers H

i ordered brake fluid from ECP and it arrived to my front door the next day..

Not tried halfords,

New stuff added to the dryer..

done some work around the farm with it, and the compressor is cooler, i can wrap my hand around it, and keep it there..

Which is nice, no longer scalding!!

old stuff was like porridge..

I'm not even going to look at mine, coz i feel looking will break it!!

I

Cheers all..

I've hung them out to dry..

Cheers RomanRob i'll be sure to check..

I've cut the foam out, and sandwiched it between 2 boards and run over it with a 2 ton jag...

Got alot of the water out, but are their any other ways?

30ton road roller at work would do the trick lol

Ordinarily i'd agree but the filters were sodden, and we were watching the water disappear under the covers ;)

I used silicone on this occasion..

Time will tell how it lasts.
