I think I'm pretty much ready to fit it back in

Lumps back in
After having a bit of a moment remembering where the wiring goes , got it sorted fired her up n started first time.
Running beautiful !

Happy with the clean look

Today I thought I'd throw the rear valance back on n the bumper and that bit done

No chance

The rear bumper has lost its og fixed brackets

Someone's bodged some crappy fixing brackets

Gotta sort this now grrrrr

So it turns out my rear bumper is from a early bay.
The front is correct for the year (66) diamond cut but the rear isn't.

What I'm gonna do for now is weld in some plates ( like a split would have ) and use this bumper as it's nice and straight , then hunt around for a 66-67 diamond cut.

Whilst at it there's a couple extra drilled holes in the bumper so will weld them up too!

Went to work this morning but only managed a couple of hours due to the bad storm.

Trees down , bins over , wind n rain was terrible

Good excuse to go home and complete another job on the bus

Simple oil change , new gaskets , new sump plate , new oil and look at the old stuff yuck
Hasn't been changed for some time

A job that can easily be forgotten , needed doing
prob only took 30 minutes.

Once I'd finished I fired her up and noticed the throttle cable was sticking a bit.
When putting it all back together the other week I noticed the cable was a bit rusty so today I've ordered a new one in the hope that will help ?

U finish one job n find another , it's the way it goes with old motors lol

After fitting everything back together the fuel gauge didn't seem to b working correctly.
Seems I had it wired wrong.
Also realised I still had the bus on axel stands which could throw the gauge out a little.
Stuck some extra petrol in and Alls good, tho definitely not accurate.

Nice to get rid the axel stands n back on the ground

Look forward to getting out in it again
