A giant chocolate cake recipe book, ready for Fontaine's next lot of treatment :D

Surely you can weld a couple of large pieces together by now to make a naughty corner?!

Sadly for Tim it was not a large chocolate cake - just a dvd! I really should change the delivery address on my ebay account!

Seeing as Fontaine is taking another extended break, we thought we would tidy up the cab area. I thought that i would just sand down a little and then re-apply a bit of paint. BUT sadly i have got a little bit more involved. I started sanding down the paint - but have now decided it ALL has to come off, otherwise it just wont look smooth...

I have got rid of the rust at the bottom of the door (as well as i can)

I found this under a layer or three of paint...

Super job, Fontaine looks good and solid in all the right places so it's well worth sorting out the unfortunate set backs. Once you are done you will have a belter [^]- and a new name? (you teased us once)

Harvey the RV
 
Oooh cool, when do you plan to get it done?

Thanks panky, it's a bigger job than i thought but it'll be worth it! As for a new name...no decision has been made! We can't decide on a new one so she may survive the overhaul!

Jon&Cara-Gramarye Fontaine
 
Hopefully the week after next she shall be ready or the trip! We made shortbread today, first time and it was yummy, so you may get to taste some freshly baked!

The sanding has been done....thank goodness [xx(] It was so demoralising at times! Hopefully we can get some primer on it at the weekend and paint it soon after as we are desperate to take a drive......

Fingers crossed she has now had the last few hicups sorted! Fuel is now goin to the new filter, and filing it up at a good rate as apposed to dribbling through. However, the problem was normally after a few miles so a test is needed.

Tim, when we removed the fuel from the tank it was a cloudy yellow colour - any ideas as to why? It may be as it was sat in the old tank for a day before we swapped it over?

Hopefully the fuel sensor is working now - I think the wire was correct on the sender unit, but it needed to be earthed. That seems to have registered correctly now.

glad you got the sender sorted Jon [^]
was there a blockage at all [?]
fuel colour might be because there was some dye-pen in the tank :I
is it looking like a Jackson Pollock then ;):D

"you were only supposed to blow the bloody SLIDING doors off"
 
Are you doing the whole van[:0] - I thought you liked Ford tractor blue :I

Harvey the RV
 
We are just doing the inside of the cab panky - I must of sounded extra dramatic for you to think we had done the whole van! I don't envy you if you hand paint Harvey!

A Jackson Pollock it aint, more a pre-school kid standard i'd say Tim! There didn't seam to be much gunk in the pipes but the filter was pretty unclean. The pump looks to be working so fingers crossed really. We will test it on a short journey next week and then arrange to come and collect all our gifts from you - so if your moving, you've got about 2 weeks to scarper before we cause trouble again!

What we have noticed is that there is a constant live to the van - and we are certain it is the radio. Is this correct?
