Re: Umm, don't laugh.....
it really is much too cold at the moment for me to do anything however, I did manage to find my spare pair of ABS driveshafts, and I also found a spare ignition/injection wiring harness... which I know isn't in perfect condition, but I know it works, and it hasn't been eaten by rats!

You don't have any rat eaten wiring! I wish you would stop using that as an excuse, its been proven wrong already. Bodged and buggered with wiring you have plenty of!

Then scrap it and move on.. I mean, FFS, the CX is a walk in the park compared to the bus, and I'm not crying about it..smiffy wrote:But chris, you have more motivation than I do....

Re: Umm, don't laugh.....
Really? Not having worked on either I wouldn't know (so perhaps shouldn't comment!), but from the photos I've seen on your bus and what I've heard about working on CXs I'd prefer the bus! I don't like fiddly jobs where access is difficult - on the bus it looks like a lot of fairly basic engineering with reasonable access. That's not trying to demean your efforts in any way, I can see that there is a fuck of a lot of work to do due to the sheer size of it! Plus it seems to need a wider range of skills too - woodworking for the floor and suchlike.docchevron132 wrote:the CX is a walk in the park compared to the bus

Re: Umm, don't laugh.....
Good point Mat, but since the plan with the CX was to strip it right out, then really, all components would be on the bench / floor ready to rebuild, so fairly good access.
I reckon I've welded more metal into the bus than the CX has in total, so it's not that hard. Cars are easy!
If you've got good thermals..
