I put it up for sale a done a deal then the came to collect and chaged his mind Well as i got fu#ked about on the sale i'm gonna get the thing sorted and stop pi$$ing about.. Here we go................. So there is a brand new CB performace 4"narrowed adjustable beam on it's way to me which means the front will go a little lower. Roll her over on her side and paint the underside. Also gonna raise the steering box at the same time for serious ground clearance. Build a new wiring loom. Swap the engines and gearboxes over again. Rebuild the carbs Make a bug turbo trip exhaust fit. Fit the larger bay window fuel tank. Repair front panel top and bottom. Repair the cab floor. Xbox and dvd player for the kids (honest) Paint it grey with sign writing Fit my new interior when i get it. That'll do for now

Anyway the engine is out just over 10 mins and fuel tank is out (took longer to get the tank out then it did the engine)
And she's now sat on her side and bugger me if she isn't bloody solid undernether so it'll all have a clean up and a couple of coats of paint then chassis will be cut out and steering box raised 2"...

Rear corners and trays. Corners and one tray are great and one tray needs a little localised repair 8)

Inner front panel has been replaced just needs a little tidying up in places. The steering box is to close to the floor so it's going up by about 2" Then the bus will come down another inch
