Hey Hey Ged
Those beers were good. Missed out on them the next day but had fun still helping pull that beam out!
Those tie-rod ends were stubborn !!

Nice Ged, I got my bump stops chopped off. Looks as though yours are still on, if going low they may present a problem. Can always weld them back on if required......as if :)

Maybe slightly better stance without going down too far. Doesn't look like an "Old Boiler on stilettos" from behind anymore

Yep Leroy, it's always hard to let something go. It has been a great van and lots of fun but I have a few other projects on the go and need to clear some room and free up some spondula.
