Didnt do anything to it yesterday, I collect all the empty bottles in my local pub and take em to the recycle centre, in return they give me a few free beers which led to a few more beers and a few more>>>>>>>.
Bob Fitzeralds hardware on the main street. Directions From Cahir drive to clonmel, come to Roundabout for Clonmel bypass, go straight on down past woodies and Kenfucky Fried chicken, next rounabout keep right down by opel garage, follow road to left, straight on at lights, keep going until you come to an arch(westgate) drive under arch, you will see Bobs place on your right just before a junction. Big display of combicolour on your left just inside the door. Next time your in clonmel give me a buzz and il stick the kettle on.
My number is on the side of the van in some of the photos.

Managed to sort out the botch wiring on 1 side today! why someone would rewire using all the same colour wires baffles me! Other side looks original so should be a doddle to do in the morning.

Just got some good news. I was given a caravan to take away but the body was so badly damaged it wasnt road worthy to tow it 100 miles home, so had to leave it, just had a call from the guy who has it and he said if I strip the inside and take all the parts away and cut the body off and take the base away I can have it. so now I will have all the parts i need to finish my conversion and a flatbed trailer as well. :D
Have to say i looking foward to cutting her up :D :D :D

All I want is the sky light, cooker,sink,fridge and gas fittings, that leaves 2 bunkbeds, bench seating that opens out into a double bed, shelves and cupboards and maybe some other bits, if you want them and you fancy a run to Kildare on Saturday morning, your welcome to take them.

Weather has turned bad now so no great progress been made, did manage to get the rear lights sorted. Heading up to Kildare Sat morning to strip a caravan and chop up whats left so it can be buried easily.
Redcube is meeting me there and il take a few photos of the destruction in progress, I do love smashing things up :D :D :D
