I see you using terminal grease Dave. Would that be the last grease you’ll ever use? Sorry I couldn’t resist.

You'd have to join the site, it's worth doing for the discounts from the suppliers. I covered the cost very quickly.

It will be worth it in the end. Just be careful about the steel you use and adding weight. Also the long runs can distort the body like you'd never imagine.

I'd have drilled the rivets out, I'm yet to tackle the battery box metal work. Go slow and think about how they connect stuff. It will save you time in the end. BTW welcome to stupidity, or heroics :)

Have you discovered the appalling way the engine bay isn't sealed from the cab? You probably know better than me now, but the stainless panels appear to be attached with double sided foam sticky tape!

Mine was only single glazed. As you may have noticed it looks it was designed to have the condensation run behind the plastic trim panels.

That's the best way. Strip all the panels off.

The down side of any of these products is the amount of time required before you know it works. Looks interesting though.

Just a word of caution. If you apply cellulose paint over some other paints, the cellulose can act like a paint stripper leaving an unpleasant mess.

Rust roof was the reason I scrapped my Mercedes 608. :(

I'd be tempted at 4k, looks like it was used as some kind of support vehicle. Not sure how they think it would be suitable for overland though.

I had an email about that yesterday. I wish I had more time to play and experiment. When I get to that stage with the "Betty" build I'll be pleading for help. Already I've been over keen insulting it, only to have to rip it out again to burry a wire. Note to ones self. MAKE A WIRING PLAN...

He still lacks the correct tool for his loose screw!

Yes I find Anita really handy. Definitely not available at Toolstation. ;)

Where practical I've been stuffing the roof with the 40mm PU insulation. Yes cutting the 20mm strips by hand. I bought an insulation hand saw, it works better than expected. Though hard work pushing it through thicker sections. Whilst working on the roof I thought it was time for another...

Resources, market competitiveness. and ignorance.

The face you are looking at is in front of the rear wheels. The notch is for the front of the leaf spring if it had them (air suspension on the back) So the top face on the right hand side is the face that bolts to the chassis. I expect I'll make that in 5mm stainless and extend it to the...

I'm up to 400 litres, but space isn't easy to find. Because the tank is going to be bolted to the chassis I might have to build some structure inside it. It end up being hung in a single plane with the weight badly unbalanced. :(

I do get a little upset knowing that I have to run of over a litre of water before the shower is safe to enter. I guess I should take a bucket with me to save it.

OMG, your dafter than I am. If you don't want to see any plumbing, just box it in. I'm guessing your using a domestic toilet, where are you going to find a mobile sewer? I've thought about collecting rain water in the past. You can buy small aluminium gutter sections with ease. My worry was...
