KFB431J - recommisioning after 4 1/2 yrs standing outside

Postby 81-cortina » Fri Jun 12, 2009 9:45 pm

As some of you know i found my old camper 1970 wayferer mk1 SWB, and have decided against a full bare shell rebuild for now due too funds, ive given myself 9 -10 weeks to get it fully functioning and usuable ready for august holiday season thats evenings and sundays, due to work.
I will brush paint it again as theres no point me taking off the paint thats there for the moment.

well here it was in 2005 before being sold

the engine had to come out for me too change the core plug behind the flywheel, so i pressure washed it and gave it a quick paint with engine paint not perfect but once it has new leads e.t.c and its in the small engine bay it will look fine

Wow has it really been this long. it was sold on for not very good reason when i look back at it. A decision I came to regret as soon as it sold :(

few old shots when we cracked on with the new cupboards in 2010.
