No the rangie is in the shed now the transit is out as I am giving it a service and doing some other bits like new water pump and cowling, it's never ending work work work with vehicles!"!! then I gotta give the french thing a service too if I can be arsed!! hopefully I'll flog that before I service it save me some work!!!

van back in shed,,,,, blimey these rear bumpers are a sod to get off, what size are the bolts supposed to be!! seems like 18 and 15 mm but still don't seem right!

[Richieintransit]

Today I got the blasted bumper off! took ages but finally got all 4 bolts out without using the grinder!!



revealed quite a bit!







so out comes the grinder,,, the only way to get rid of rust is to get rid of it!!! bye bye rust!!







took longer to get the bumper off than to cut it all out!!!! hopefully start putting new metal in tomorrow!

Only just seen this thread

M8 I was impressed with your work then I realised you do it with your feet

I've recently had health probs and felt sorry for myself till I saw this thread

If you can do this with your feet I'm sure I can get back on my van with my hands

Keep up the good work

Your'e doing a great job on the Transit Richie, I wish I had your determination & drive, you put me & others to shame when we moan about silly things like colds & bad backs to put off doing repairs on our vans.
Good luck with your project

Oh don't worry I have done my fair share of that!! f ing and blinding over it and like today it's cold and miserable and I just can't be arsed at the mo! but hopefully I will find some energy later and get going!

[Richieintransit]

all I did to my van yesterday was cut down the new rear arch as I am only going to fit what I need to, I think blending in will be easier the way I have cut it too!

I was in the middle of doing that when my mate popped in as he wanted me to help him make a bed that was removable so he still had the use of his van, so I came up with this idea for him










when folded up to the side there is a nifty little cupbourd between the arch and bulkhead, just a hinge or two for him to do now on the legs and then it'll be a really handy store away bed for the price of a sheet of mdf and some battern and screws!, I found the main hinges in my shed!!
might do something similar in mine now I have used his as a tester!!! oh sh*t I have just realised I needen those hinges!!! :angry:
