Out comes the DA and off comes all the sign writing.... I was sorting out my garage and found the old 3 bow rack down there so i put it on Just had a look at what i've got underneath- The gearbox is a AD code 1200 so that'll get binned Gt box for me again. The straight axle kit is a Boatyard busses style kit with notched spring plates. Front spindles are dropped so saved me a few pennys. The beam is adjustable with one adjuster and nearly on its highest setting And still no more rot on the underside. I'm so glad that i got this van i f##king love it's loads more fun and way more practical then the Crewy

Dont forget that GT bug we found in wellington rich, might be worth giving him the 600 quid he wanted and breaking it?

Right then i've started The motor is out And in the shed, i lifted it on my own complete minus the back box on to my bench. And pulled the f#cker apart. Pulled the tin wear off and saw how close the head bolts were to the barrels Then pulled one head off and saw that the head had been machined for bigger barrels. So i get the tape measure out and 94mm baby 1914cc And noticed that it had a Kennedy clutch But the heads look pretty much standard..
