What have you used to allow the front plate to fit so tidy?

It's a bmw plinth as advised by Mark P

Can dig the details out if you're interested

Well done Neil passing the MOT. Looking good.

Would be great if you could dig the details out on the number plate fitting.

Next challenge was the Westy windows, so I ordered up a polishing kit



And got new seal kit and mastic ready for the rebuild



Stripped and old mastic cleaned off, then polished for a while



Final results back in the van



Repeat 4 more times

Only took a whole week of evenings...

Couple of better pics of the interior





Then spent a bit of time getting a couple of troublesome earths and a faulty indicator bulb

Fitted up front badge and deluxe bumper trim



Last week had a trip down to see Tony to get the tracking sorted, drives much better now even got Nugget to help out



Onto snagging list now

Cheers

Ha it doesn't happen very often

Ok, so the next problem I came against was a sticking throttle, which I put down to the hex bar linkage, decided to replace it with a CSP bellcrank one, as they seem to get good reviews

During



After



Also fitted mudflaps and other bits and pieces, almost there
