Re: LR Classic Camper Rescue

That's great news Mick - so much easier (and cheaper!) than collecting yourself :cheers:

Was that through Shipley, or another contact.

Is it worth mentioning him in our 'Supplier's' list?

Looking forward to the pictures tonight :neener:

Cheers,
Robin.

Re: My 1967 Carawagon (no name yet!)

Hi Alex, No 6 pot brakes on this one, just standard LWB. I got the kit from Paddocks - generic (some blue boxes!) - I think around £59 +VAT for the whole lot, cyls, shoes, springs, adjusters, though I did already have a roll of brake tubing, ends and a flaring kit - soooo much easier to cut pipes an...

Re: My 1967 Carawagon (no name yet!)

Right, managed to snap some pics off today: This shows the aluminium trim, riveted on from the outside (along the top of the windows), which prevent you getting to the roof bolts! http://www.rms1.co.uk/landy/cara/trim.jpg http://www.rms1.co.uk/landy/cara/trim2.jpg And the other side after the trim i...

Re: newbies

Welcome :tiphat: A year ago I'd have said you'd be lucky to find a Carawagon for sale, but in the last few months one of our members sold his, I've bought another (yes, a two Carawagon family now :neener: ), and another member has just bought one of the very first prototypes :stars: I suppose they a...

Re: Regassing an old fridge?

Right, thanks for all your suggestions; tried it again yesterday, and it worked :nana: :nana: I've had it upside down 4 times, and the last couple of times waiting another 24 hours after righting it before lighting, but nothing seemed to work until yesterday. I left it lit for a couple of hours whil...

Re: LR Classic Camper Rescue

I told you it would come down the second day Mick - you just have to wait for the small independents to get back from their current jobs and log on :cheers: As long as they have insurance to cover your vehicle, I wouldn't worry about it being cheap - it's not that any are going to be towing it on an...

Re: another one

Mick might be contacting you then, re transport :wink:

Yes, I know what you mean about finances - I've ended up with at least one too many which I hadn't accounted for, but hopefully one might be going soon :cheers:

Cheers,
Robin.

Re: My 1967 Carawagon (no name yet!)

The problem is, when I think of taking pics, my hands aren't in a fit state to handle the camera. Then, later, by the time I've finished and got clean hands, I've forgotten all about taking them :thud: Maybe I need an old, rough, camera that I don't mind getting greasy paw prints all over :shrug:

Re: another one

Nice one Alex,

These old, neglected, ones are turning up all the time now, aren't they :tiphat:

Yet another project - I think we're all overworked doing these up, but it's worth it to stop them being scrapped :wink:

Cheers,
Robin.
