Back on The Road!

So after not realising that I hadn't actually posted my last one I look like I've been very busy today!

My baby is back on the road! Woohoo! Having said that, before we all get too excited, he now has a leak from the fuel pump.  So after having a little jaunt down to Poole this morning to see the sunroof man (yes, that too is leaking!), I popped to see a fuel pump company who have tentatively suggested it might hopefully be a straight forward job which can be done in situ....Obviously this depends what he finds when he starts taking the pump apart! 

I am thinking positively though especially after having to do a lot more to the engine than originally planned plus the drive shaft centre bearing, which wasn't cheap, I am feeling a corner has hopefully been turned and things will be simple and straight forward.

I have someone checking the electrics and putting in a leisure battery over the next couple of weeks.  I have also ordered the curtain track, hools, tape etc. and have decided to use material which came from my Grandad's flat when we cleared it several years ago. 

 

So the material is a shiny nylon type fabric, bit odd but it looks great in the van.  It's almost like it was meant to be...I've kept this fabric as I knew I would find a use for it one day, Grandad would be proud and I think it's nice that there is a little memory of him going into the van.  Can't wait to do something nice for him instead of the constant stuff which needs doing....still haven't got a name, definately male...maybe he should be called Wally after Grandad?  Although I'm still considering jeffie, due to his reg no!
