Thank you. Its not bad to say its in a dusty building but the ramp is a real blessing. Just on the look out for some rims if anyone knows of any then we can have them blasted with out having the van wheel less tiring the ramp up.

A huge update is needed but I don't have internet yet at new house.
The camper is out it started and drove off the ramp where its been parked for the last few months. Its got some teething problems and a leaking rad but it should be enroute to masham steam fair later today where I'm going to drink a huge amount of blacksheep beer and I think old fella is going to catch up on his sleep. The last push to get it back together has been a long one. There is still things to do. The camper part has no electics, the cab floor and arches need painting after welding and filling, carpets and mats need refitting and theres a door lock that's shot it looks like someone's had a screw driver in it so I'm on the look out for some new locks.

That looks EXACTLY like the Mk1 Reimo we rented and took around Europe in 1977! Really looking good.
