Hi all, been a while since I have found time to get on the forum.
A lot has happened since my last post. In summary, I found a painter here locally and got the bus to him. He got a lot of small stuff sorted and got it into the basic primer. I then went to see Andrew about speccing up my motor, which led to a discussion about fitting an intermediate engine mount. That requires welding, and it sort of started a snowball. So I had a discussion with Dan (painter) and we brought the bus home so I could do a few jobs that will require welding. That way I also don't have to stress about doing some interior setup work and chipping paint. So here we are...
Might do some separate posts on the stuff I have been up to, there is a lot of ground to cover.

Intermediate mount fitment was easy as, tbh I wouldn't bother making your own, now these are available for the price. Very nicely made, quality welds etc.
Top seatbelt mount is just a piece of scrap I made up to use with the broken test seat belt I have to see how it all sits
