T3 Autosleeper low top - the return!

4 post lift.

The white bit is some left over mdf skirting from the dildo, its important to have a nice finish on the dildo. 4.2m long, can't fit it in the car to take it back! Must get round to cutting it in half and putting it in the car port.

So having been distracted by redoing the dildo, its much bigger and has hard granite finish! I am now back on the van.

New distributor fitted along with 2 new pushrod tubes from brickwerks. I forgot to order rocker gaskets so new order placed.

Oil drain plug has stripped too, so m16 drain plug ordered from Brickwerks along with an m16 tap. Meanwhile the rocker covers have had a quick wire brush and paint.

Exhaust is blowing too, and some clamps are missing, so I may drop the engine and whip the exhaust off for a full investigation at some point.

Bodywork:
Both back corners had gone (despite the drivers side havin a new rear wing, they hadn't fixed the rust hole under the vent or the corner panel.

New corner ordered for the other side.

Small hole in the wheel arch - same as on the last one.


Done the sill under the sliding door too, excellent repair panel, cut down to retain most of the original sill, but all new rail for the seal.





I may need to sort out the wood floor, looks like Wheetabix!

Front panel to do, plus one in the wheel arch and at the bottom right of the sliding door opening.

I need to decide if I want to paint it myself, or shell out for someone else to do it - if I can find someone at the right price. Also need to do upholstery and curtains.

I had no end of stuttering at low revs untill i pulled the carb apart, re built with brickwerks kit. Job jobbed 

putting a metal one back on? Saw the fibreglass ones rhoen bulli do at bustfest - very good quality

grind the head off the bolt, remove heat sheild intact, get medieval with the stud.

I've managed to get 3 bolts out of the heat shield, but th last one, omg! Hammered on smaller socket, tried heat, chizzeling one side of the head.

I'm thinking I may just cut the perfectly good heat shield, change the leaking pushrod covers and tack it back on!

Any other suggestions I should try first?

So, on to van fixing. Pushrod tubes - change one (the leaky one) with a springy one or all and do the heads?
