Grill nd valance refurbished and ready to fit

Thanks, I can't wait to get it in paint. I'll be really happy then..just the interior and final set up

Hi get enough paint mixed up and you'll be fine, and yes its a panel at a time for me, its looking OK

Well.. the painting has begun thankfully the panels all come off making the job easier. Having no garage has made this restoration difficult. However I have great neighbours who cheer me on.

Just the long haul of painting the body panels...can't wait to see it shine again

Drove for the first time under its own power yesterday. 1st time since 1992, its been long journey but the old bus is getting there.

I like the grease gun fix... its cheap and easy for the home hobbyist.

Have you tried warming it up an blowing out with compressed air...don't get it to hot though. If you haven't got a compressor you could attach an old foot pump to a bit of brake pipe with a union on it...that will soon build up enough pressure.

Me ... sand blaster and painted to match original finish. Fitted a rebuild kit as well.

Brake system now complete, servo restored :):thumb:

Hi has anyone got a good clutch master cylinder and a decent Servo for a series 1 2000sc

Hi No they are good second hand, bought them a couple of years ago. Sand blasted and painted them. The metal was sound in the crucial places.

On to the wheels and panels now.

More before and after pictures .....soon be ready to go back on its wheels. rear axle completed Yaaaaaaaaayyyy :D

Blast that rust away...

Hi, they all appear to be fine.

Thanks, Hopefully it will turn out ok...been sand blasting all day so now the axle parts are looking good

This turned out to be the best part of the car condition wise. Even the rear calipers still work! The drive shafts to rear wheels will be the next job, they are quite heavily corroded so will need some work. Cant wait to get the car back on its wheels now.

Had a bash at the rear axle, sand blasted components and painted them, checked seals etc.. soon be able to refit everything and get the old bus on its wheels

Driver side now complete

Passenger side inner-wing suspension area finally finished. A kind fellow donated a stack of parts he was clearing from his garage, and in this lot were a set of new old stock front shocks. So my drive for originality continues, I hope to keep 85-90% of the original car ...5-7% has rusted away...

Thanks

Thanks Its finally comming together, I wish I had more time to spend on it but work,life.,kids etc....

Switch panel was re-coverd in leather once corrosion was removed

New dash shelf installed, things are looking better
