The Moog Posted June 14, 2020 Author Share Posted June 14, 2020 Cracked on with making a bit less mingy today Got the Vax out and gave interior a good wash.Now they have dried they still have stains but didn't want to be too rough on the old upholsteryStuck some gravel In water tank and gave it another swirl round then flush The little grey things have goneA downside of this design is that it can never be empty - it doesn't have a sump and the plastic washer makes the drain slightly higher than the rest meaning it will always retain some water. Not massively sold on keeping it. Half tempted to swap in a portable water tank with inlet. It will free up under bed storage, you can ensure it is empty and as long as it has a feed to the sink it should work. Jet wash time ... It took most of the black paint off the bumpers which is is goodThen onto the main body The top roof light has got a small hole in it which has been repaired and now needs fixing again It managed to kill my karcher, as water started pissing out the front. Thursday morning it should be going on the ramp so we can see the worst of the horrors and see if it can be saved. 500tops, Coprolalia, dome and 9 others 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Moog Posted June 18, 2020 Author Share Posted June 18, 2020 Now the fun game of "how many litres of water have found their way inside while washing?"The answer is,.. drum roll...... None! So basically you gave a Karcher a blow job Erm .. how do you delete posts ?? I am just taking the van over to have a look at much welding is needed. Go round a corner...... Ping......hmmm that didn't sound normalOhhhhSelf lowering van! Luckily it was at the top of drivers side and it has reseated. Will add that to the shopping list.

The Moog Posted June 18, 2020 Author Share Posted June 18, 2020 Today gets even better. We got the van on the ramp to see how many plates would be needed to sort the rusty bits. The answer is a a whole new van! It is a bit of a horror show really. The van has been undersealed which has held the rust in. Bear in mind that is just the showing rust ... Once the underseal is removed I can imagine it will be much much worse.Its a shame as I was hoping it was a gamble that would come off. Going to stick it on eBay at 99p no reserve and see if I can get some money back. If anyone fancied a welding challenge then drop me a line!
