I suppose you want the plans for this little lamb.... ;D I got it on the way to Vanfest. Then at Vanfest i treated her to: A new Mondo exhaust box due to the old on being a Kardon . A new Scat shifter due to the standard on being as useful as a glass sledge hammer. All new door rubbers.. A new cab carpet New CPS linkages for the carbs as the old ones were crap and i was only getting quarter throttle. And a new set of safaris.. New flame thrower 2 coil and plug leads. The plans at the mo not very interesting: Fit the rest of the new bits. Pull the motor out, whip the heads off and inspect, fit a standard oil cooler and h/p oil pump with outlets and a 72 row cooler with fan. Tidy up the tin ware. Take the fuel tank out so i can fit the seat belts nice and secure.. Treat and paint the underside. Weld anything that needs it which i don't think is much at all. Lower profile front tyres as the ones that are on it rub the arches. Build and fit a new wiring loom. Rev counter, oil pressure, oil temp and cylinder head temp gauges. She'll have a decent sound system. I'll be doing something with the interior full width rock and roll bed and a beer fridge for sure not sure what else. Not gonna be narrowed at the mo or lowered anymore. Not much gonna happen to the body just weld the lower front panel up and tidy the front panel up and the roof corner then through some paint on the repiars... Oh yeah nearly forgot fu#king use it baby with the safaris open baby I think thats about it for now

I had a quick look round here yesterday and she needs some welding:
Battery tray 2" hole Cab floor offside corner cracked and crusty
And the bits i knew about:
Hole in the front corner of the roof. Around the front screens. lower front panel.
So not to bad at all so not even a weekends work if the weather is good

Stripped the insides out and the floor is mint just found that the bottom of the B pillar, inner front arch and a bit on the offside outer sill need slight repair. Even though the floor is mint there are a few screw holes the are gonna need a blob of weld.... I'll sort some pics tomorrow...

Right we've had a chat and think and the final plan at the mo it is: Body is gonna be Old english white all over.. Interior is gonna be grey leatherette with white piping.. Wheels are gonna be repro Sprints.. The suspension wait for it will be left as is.. Full lenght rack (but the old 3 bow will do till then) Doesn't seem alot to do on this lets hope it stays that way ;D
