She just needs lots of welding and then some more welding and a bit of welding, new brake calipers all round, new drive shafts, fuel lines, brake lines hand brake cable and a smidge more welding

We've decide she can just sit on the driveway until march and have a long hard think about what shes done

On the plus side I get to play with the welder again it not seen the light of day for about 2 years. Mr H

We did the gear linkages at the end of summer and did the "short shift" mod while we were at it, the gear change on her is awesome now for a 96 bus, would recommend the mod to anyone where it's possible. Mr H

Yea the short shift mod is an act of genius!

My t4 is the 1.9td and I have turned up the turbo and diesel pump to give her a little extra poke!

I want your engine! Ours should be 1.9td but some cockwomble swapped it out for a straight 1.9d, I bet you can guess how popular we are on the hills but on the plus side it'll live forever since the turbo cant ever shit its guts into the engine
