Very neat.

Thank you. Still some way to go.

I have a YouTube channel

Is there another way I can transfer a video? I tried to transfer the file, but failed.

Not a nice job at the best of times, there is always one inaccessible or seized bolt and it is always the last one. I struggled replacing the matrix on the Punto several years ago.

Time for a bit of an update: Having reunited the engine and gearbox I filled up with oil and anti-freeze ready for the first start. Mrs Renaultvation (Liz) was there to record the event. I started with the fuel pump disconnected and turned the engine over until the oil light went out. Then pump...

All looking very nice.

The design of the door cupboards changed over the years, with early versions from1967 having timber cupboards with an oak finish very similar to the Autosleeper cupboards which Panky has provided. Later models (early 70s), had simpler open fronted cupboards with a formica finish. I don't know...

That's an excellent bit of panel beating. Although badged as a Dodge, the spare front end is exactly the same as a Commer PB front dating from before they modified the design to the Spacewagon. It should be a straightforward swap.

Engine went to Salv Sacco in Wolverhampton for rebuilding. It wasn't in bad condition, but after 90,000 miles was showing wear and the oil had was very sludgy in the sump.

Mystery of the locked engine solved. Removed the engine and discovered a loose bolt sitting in the bellhousing which had jammed in the ring gear. I have since found a bolt missing from the water pump directly above the little window in the bellhousing for setting the timing. There should be a...

I watched Hubnut's quick walk round and saw Harvey which he correctly identified as an Autosleeper conversion. However, I did not recognise him as Harvey as I am not used to the new colour scheme. He does look good though.

Very smart

No, it's a good old fashioned chain.

With fully working brakes and new fuel lines it was time to see if she would start. Fuel pump primed and a spark at the plugs we fired her up, but nothing. She turned over, but no sign of life, so we tried a short blast of easy start and she briefly coughed into life. Looks like there is nothing...

When I sold Bertie and the Jaaaag I used Car & Classic.

Yes, that's Duke for sure (now Derek).
