Hi all a quick update and lots has been happening on the `little nipper` The bus has had a major service, new exhaust all filters and oil has been changed and brand new batteries The tyres were all perished so all new tyres have been fitted to the bus for the MOT     The front end has been removed and sprayed to tidy it up for test, all dodge badges etc have been sourced and are now bought waiting to be fitted   the interior has been cleaned out as was in a bit of a state!  The cab floor had rotted, the vinyl flooring had been removed by prev owner but this has been sourced   The fuel tank was like a siv and has been removed and refurbished at a great cost however its done, it was a MASSIVE job but i got it fitted in the end!    the indicator stalks were very worn, so these have now been replaced  so a lot has been happening, i have an electritian who has been sorting out all the faults, we now have the door working, brake lights reverse lights and rear lights working All the above exept for the tyre fitting (i gave up with my own bar as they hadnt been changed in 10 years!) has been done by myslelf, the bus has also had all the fuses bulbs wiper blades wiper arms and motor changed, plus new indicators and headlights! i am about to fit new track rod ends, the electritian is finishing off his bits then its MOT time. the Little Nipper Decals have been reproduced thanks to some friends of mine, but the bus wont display All of them till its been fully repainted in a year or so |

Superb stuff. Interesting to note that it has retained it's original interior for all these years?
