"Jake The spec"

[Muttley]

With being easy to see in the dark being a priority in my business I have refurbed the faded chevrons on the locker



B4



Aftern not fleuorescent orange like the back but better than faded yellow

Also added some red hi viz to the sides



I have bought a Premier Hazard programmable wig wag unit to go on the front, just looking for some suitable lamps to connect to it

I have been through my paints stocks in the garage, came up with 3 tins of wheel silver enough to do all the wheels and the spec arm







I have also sorted the not working dash and rewired the not working heater (melted loom plug)

[noah]

i like that lots

I finally found some lamps to go with my Code 3 flasher unit



They are Danish daytime running lamps apparently, I fitted them with H/D 382 bulbs and they are pretty bright even in daytime. There are 17 different flash patterns which alternate between the top and bottom pairs

.....do you do parties?.....I'm sure a mobile lighting rig like that would be welcome at a Rave

Well its taken a while but I have been looking at Jakes front end, I have come to the conclusion that plastic not so fantastic I got a bullbar off the 'bay, dont know what it was off but it was cheep Took a while to fit as it has to fold outward to allow the bonnet to open Next on the list, a bumper that has many features First, its deep enuff to allow the bullbar to move forward. Second , the large spaces at the outer ends will contain water tanks that I can fill and drain as required to get the necessary weight when towing. Third, I can stand on it to reach the bloody windscreen




Bolts to original MK3 bumper mounting holes



Its big



Deffo a "Muttley" truck now Got to make panels to cover the top and brackets to hold the water tanks. Gonna do it orange and black chevrons

[Vandalism]

dont go near any bank walls now will you

[Muttley]

Dont wanna scratch it now do I

[MinorMatt]

Looks like an upside down transit bull bar... ??

[madbri]

tbh i do like it a bit but i much prefer that look on ure mk2 soz

[Muttley]

Apparently its a T25 VW bar? I think it will all come together when its painted





I put the top bits on and theres brackets to hold the water tanks to go in from underneath, I may use concrete instead as its easier to fit in there I also noticed the bar is bent on the offside, got to straighten it as it makes the whole thing look out of kilter

[Muttley]

Bumper now painted and I went too far with the reflective tape I will be removing the bits on the sides I also painted the wheels as I liked the ones on the other halfs MK2 bus

[transitandy]

as usual very nice work

[Muttley]

I finally got a winch for the old boy



I fitted a cover over the "new" solenoids" to avoid them corroding

Also fitted some "Angel eye" spots I have had for a while and moved the number plate out of the way of the grille



Also treated himt to a Delilah style name badge
