Well done Mark,
This has been an amazing thread read by many people like me who hardly ever post on here but have gained inspiration on an almost daily basis for their own projects.
Well done again,
Jim.

Forgot to upload this one ..... GERRY GETTING A GEO CHECK after the new tyres were fitted

Thank you everyone for all your great comments
So what been happening
Well unfortunately I have to work tomorrow so no Gerry time as I have stuff to do straight after that too gggggrrrrrrrrrr..
I have booked Gerry in with a well known air-cooled specialist in Northamptonshire D G Autos I was lucky as when I called they just had a cancelation so that meant I jumped the Que and Gerry is going in on Tuesday
:
other than that I know he was booked up for a few weeks so I consider myself lucky
They are going to give the engine th once over and do the timing as I have not done this after I fitted the electronic ignition..
I reeled of a few things I want checking to Dominic ( the owner ) and he has asked me to do I hit list and that will work there way though it
It's not a big list but just a few things I want checking that I don't know how to do

Hi mark.
I've been following your thread from your first post, you've done a great job bringing that van back to life, and in just two years shows how motivated you are.
your posts and pictures have inspired me on many occasion to get my ass off the sofa and into the garage.
sure you'll get the most out of the van with your family.
I hope to get my van rolling next year so will defiantly come and say hi if I see you at a show.
Enjoy.
Paul.
