Sold to the first viewer! Thanks for looking.

Working 6 day weeks between two jobs means that I just don't think i'm going to have time to use my bus this summer so regretfully it is up for sale. So basically the bus has had a shed load of re-commissioning work done since being imported including: - 2x new CV joints. - 1x new track rod. -...

So it's been a while since my last update. I've got loads done though and the bus is pretty much ready for an MOT. I didn't have time to take many progress photos along the way due to work/life getting in the way but to give you an idea of some of the things I've been up to... - New electric...

PM sent. :D

Anyone? I'm starting to get desperate! :lol:

:D

Evening all, Looks like my old carburettor is knackered so will be needing a replacement to get the bus ready for it's MOT. Ideally an original Solex 34 PICT 3 would be good if anyone has one going spare but I would also consider a good tested reproduction carb? Thanks, Charles.

A price for a good Solex 34 PICT 3 carburettor posted to Suffolk would be much appreciated? Cheers. Charles.

So new fuel pump push rod fitted, engine static timed and a leaky manifold boot sorted and we have life! :D :D :D Such a satisfying feeling knowing you've resurrected it yourself.

Cheers! Yeah sometimes you've just got to have a bit of vision. All my mates thought I was mad and that it was a total shed but I had a bit of (luckily well placed) faith in what was underneath. ... Sort of! New starter arrived this morning, so fitted it and tried to start the thing up again...

Stock height. Stock 185R14 tyres. No plans to change any of the above. :msn4:

Picked up a set of matching OG steels with stock tyres yesterday which look much more at home! Got the engine all ready to fire up but typically the starter motor has given up the ghost so a new one is due to be delivered tomorrow. New windscreen and seal is due to be fitted this week. Then...

I sure am. The photos are kind to it though, and I did have to paint the front panel as unfortunately there was nothing to strip back to. :(

They are nearly all knackered. I originally wanted to try and keep them or transfer the vinyl covers but they are too far gone. I'm going to keep the front bulkhead panels fitted but the door cards are just too rotten/cut/broken. Had a very productive week working on this! Engine now back...

Felixstowe, Suffolk. I am happy to arrange a courier if necessary though. Thanks! :)
