While I have been slacking on the van I have been slowly building a rotisserie so I can get her up and do what's required on the under carriage without killing myself. I'm Also hoping to have a bit of time off work ...

Re: Introducing Me (OldmanVan) and my Build

Well I think I need to go away more often. The old man came to look after the animals while I spent a few days in Sydney. He managed to get more done in a day and a half than I have in 10 months :starr: .

Love it when he makes up the fiddly bits :clap:

Re: Introducing Me (OldmanVan) and my Build

Well I actually managed to find a more sucky job than grinding 50 years of sh*t of an fb floor. Trying to get a rusted sub-frame bolt out. I'm gunna call this one a tie, because I got the sub-frame off and the body got to keep some of its bolt (for now).

Introducing Me (OldmanVan) and my Build
