I just thought i'd share this pic with you guys...

On friday, I almost made it to the MOT station.. but the motor sucked some shit through the carb and it wouldn't run..

I've had this bus for 5 years, and its almost on the road..

If you fancy some reading, there are a few pages there too.. but interesting history and stuff.. check here..

Mate, you sure you didn't leave your pint by the carburator while messing with the engine?? :wink:

It looks super nice. Dub "D's" or the best. Good luck!

Looks great!

I hope you don't think I'm hitting you for six when I tell you that the steering wheel is on the wrong side mate.....as Johnny would say; "just having a giraffe".

Hey Deano ... good work. I've been following your efforts. Get it on the road and they'll be 2 ... 1 more to go, in OZ. We'll have to work the guy to either fixit or sell it. I hope you enjoyed the process up to this point; the 216 looks great. RickC

I'm sorry Anchovy I've looked hard at that picture but can't see what you're getting at :? Passing on the left leaves your sword arm free to lash at passing ruffians and vagabonds. At least that's the way we do it over here...especially in Hampshire. :D
