Finishing the bodywork (one rear arch is still stuffed, lots of dents scrapes, marks and rust)
When bodywork is better it will then be converted to a camper

No idea...
I put an epic pump on my van to test it out for someone a fortnight ago, since then I have been mucking around with the morris pickup (seems to work reasonably well now), worked out a potential power boost for the epic, been to a weekend show (where I got under other peoples vans and fixed/advised, done a few hours overtime, fitted a new radio in the van, serviced the van and watched a bit of telly. Built the new bed this afternoon. Not a busy fortnight - but not quiet either

A little job this morning... something I have been thinking about for a while.
Not quite finished... I need a few more magnets to get it all finished
Held on with magnets so easily removeable and take seconds to install. Made some for the rear doors too

I've done a nice simple mod to up the power on it (hopefully all will be working correctly for TM). Test drive later...

A few unexpected issues... but the (switchable) power boost looks like it will work. Just needs a test drive to confirm
