@@Uwannawatch 😂 it's getting there buddy. Still so much more to do. We're looking forward to getting some use out of it, next year now, as long as it behaves itself!

@@Dirt-Diggler thanks, I never knew that, they really are a pain. £9 sounds like a good investment, it's slowly getting there but I'm loving every minute of ownership.

Enjoy yourself over there, hopefully there's no rain in Spain! See what you mean about the Ska look, purely coincidental😁

@@MattsGarage1791 cheers, sometimes it's better to.learn by our mistakes! 😁

@@kinhelfa cheers mate, I did toy with the idea of a hatch awning and am keeping an eye out for a cheap one. I did get a cheap roof box too and that's just getting filled up with crap that was in the van😁 I've been doing some long overdue interior design on it at the moment so I've got another video coming out soon, it's just getting a dry day to do it all in! The vans just a mess at the moment but it's slowly getting there. It's proving to be very reliable so far, hence the lack of videos!

@@Dalesworkshop on my own, I'd be happy just in the van but with two, it makes more sense. We're hoping to get some cheap breaks by the coast next year🤞🏻

@@Uwannawatch I must say, it will definitely make trips easier, shame we didn't get to use it but the wife was right, it wouldn't have been nice going, feeling as rough as we did. I just hope she doesn't read this, I'd never hear the last of it, admitting she was right about something!😁

@@fix_old thank you kindly 👍🏻

Could be a good business opportunity there😁. I think they look great after a good clean up, I'm not far from Birmingham so I guess that's why there's quite a few around here, lucky me!

Glad it helped, ours has been wagging its tail for months after a good clean.

@@gboutdoors5198 cheers, same here, I won't touch PCPs, I did a strip down on an SMK QB78 a good few years ago and it was shockingly bad internally, rough edges everywhere, took me a few hours to get it cleaned up and running smoothly. Molly is nosey and loves to see what I'm up to but never offers to help.

@Bloodshed.restorations I love cats they are soo funny! I have to learn how a PCP works; it's a bit more complicated than a multi-pump BB gun lol!

@@ivanstiles7030 thanks mate, it's a bit more modern than the rest of my increasing collection but I'm looking forward to making a few upgrades to it.👍🏻

I've found I've to do again after a while but cleanes the eye stems again and it keeps going. Thanks for watching, glad it helped👍🏻

@@Dalesworkshop cheers Dale, yes I'll be moving away from the open sights and going down a different route. Got some improvements take too.

@@Uwannawatch 100% tea! I've always liked the crossman pistols but never actually used one, not a great CO2 fan but these are great to customise. Grandchild number 2 is just round the corner, starting to feel really old now!😁

@@eddypagan8675 hi, thanks for watching. Unfortunately physical manuals are like hens teeth, one of the Suzuki Carry UK facebook groups has a PDF manual that you can download, I did this and then printed it off.

@@ontools thanks 👍🏻

@@ramontortosahernandez8511 hi, cheers for watching. I've had mine for a couple of years now and the only time it let me down was from a dodgy earth on the starter. It's been very reliable, once I did some basic maintenance, so little to go wrong. MPG is around 35-40 so it's more expensive on long runs/commuting than mine or my wife's car. Rust has been the main issue and I'm going to have to get welding done at some point, I've heard of the engines doing 200k if looked after. I love it but wouldn't use it as a daily unless is was for short commuting, tax is pretty expensive too, think its about £250. There are a couple of good Facebook groups that are a source of info too 👍🏻

@@kinhelfa cheers mate, I'm getting by and not overdoing it, too much! I had to wire them to a separate switch as the lights seem to be negative switched. I'm still looking for a better looking for a better for the swith though, look forward to seeing the video👍🏻

Thanks for watching, I've actually got one buried in the shed somewhere, I'll to hunt it out for the next one👍🏻

@@Kirk-t9r no, I angled the top so that it can't do this. There's not much room between the top and the padlock bar.

Cheers, I get shakey hands so I have hold the stick further down. Its amusing to see me weld with a full stick, it catches on every point other than the one I'm trying to do! 😁

@@Bloodshed.restorations I also have nuances with the hardness of my hands, that's why I paid attention to this welding technique.

Thanks, they are great. I'm feeling more positive already, hope it lasts!😁👍🏻

Cheers, the good thing about them is that they're small, meaning, they'll always be plenty of room for more! 😁

@@MattsGarage1791 cheers mate, can't beat Birminghams finest, made to last! I've got to have a sort out in the shed so I can start to display them, rather than hide them under a load of junk.

Always good to hear from you, it's all part of getting old. My body tells me what I can and can't do and I generally listen to it. I've just ordered a side awning for it and managed to get a cheap roof box, personally, I don't like the boxes but with a Carry they make sense! We're hoping for a couple of nights away to St Davids (Wales) in October, the wife's idea!! I'm thinking of doing an update video of the set up with awning etc. I've made a few small changes and got another idea on the go too. I'm I'm predicting it being cold and wet and the wife refusing to go again!

@@357magdad thanks, it is. It only seems like 5 minutes ago when we'd go to the library to search for info, now we just pick up our phones and Google it!

@@ivanstiles7030 cheers, I keeping all of them, just need a bigger shed now!

@@Uwannawatch thought you'd like them, got to find somewhere nice to display them now, I feel another shed sort out coming on, it's getting cluttered again! He likes it by the window as he can see the sheep in the field next door, think he's getting ideas! Have a good week my friend 👍🏻

Cheers, couldn't find any info on that one, shame as it was my favourite. There's lots of them out they so I'm hoping someone will enlighten me. If I do find anything I'm adding it to the description 👍🏻

I believe the metal one is a machinist’s level. They are used to level items being machined on lathes, milling machines and surface grinders. I’m not a machinist but my father was and he used them frequently.

@@shedmanx3640 thanks, sounds very likely to me 👍🏻

@@Dancing_Alone_wRentals I've done a few lamps and it's by far my favourite, Molly knows she's the favourite too.

@@Dancing_Alone_wRentals spark plug people abide by their own rules, it was his decision and I was just doing what I was told 😁

@@Bloodshed.restorations ...makes perfect sense.

I'm just a lost cause, the wife leaves me alone in the shed as long as she gets home to a hot meal, if I forget, I'm in big trouble😂.

@@Bloodshed.restorations ....I'm sending you some of those sticky notes.... .....You're playing with fire.....some things it is best not to forget! Have a super weekend!

Hi, you'd have run a separate earth from the lighter socket. Only the live would go to the piggyback fuse. You could run an earth from the battery negative or from any part of the vehicle that connects to the bodywork/frame etc.

@@kelvinsparks4651 thanks, it was an enjoyable project and I was pleased with the end result. Good luck with yours 👍🏻

@@MattsGarage1791 Hi Matt, I think the oil and wire wheel did all the hard work on this clean up. Credit where its due, my friend 👍🏻

Thanks for watching 👍🏻

@@Dalesworkshop I couldn't find the branding on the screwdriver as most if it had worn off. I've got a nice wooden spirit level with brass on that I'm looking forward to doing up soon too.

It was a nice easy little tidy up and they look good hanging in the shed.

He's now become the shed mascot, not sure what he does exactly but he does it well! Brass and wood is just a perfect recipe.

Cheers, I'm definitely happy with the results. They're hanging up in the shed already.

Thanks for coming on board, they're great little vans, absolutely love mine, even the rusty bits!

Thought about on many occasions but not got enough space, it would save so much time though. Thanks for watching 👍🏻

@@Dalesworkshop As much as I'm happy with the finished result, getting all the paint and coating off was a nightmare, I might have been better off using the old gas cylinder instead. You live and learn, I think my log burner maybe more straightforward, I hope!

@@Bloodshed.restorations After burning coals in it for a while it may be fine.

I thought the gas pipe but the said the fire extinguisher, guess that's 2 votes to 1 😁👍🏻

@@Everythings_Adjustable Thanks. That was one of the reasons it took me so long to compete but I get there in the end 😁

I've even laid some slabs down by the shed so the wife and me can chill out in the evening, the plan is to get the burner done ready for the darker evenings, I better get a move on!

@@timeflysintheshop cheers, the pop rivets should be fine as they're higher up, but you never know!😁. Getting the urge to buy some ribeye steaks, that'll have to wait as looks like the rain is coming soon!

@@Bloodshed.restorations It has been raining off and on for about five days here. Though we did have a big break yesterday for the Akron Air Show! We took umbrellas, but did not need them!

@@timeflysintheshopthink it's the way forward nowadays, go prepared, expect the worst and you won't be disappointed.

Just wanted to add Guy's, I've used pop rivets in the past on BBQ projects and they have been fine with the heat 🔨👍😊

@@kinhelfa Hi there, it wasn't me, unfortunately, wish it had have been though. The deflectors are made by ClimAir, they're a German company, they were on the van when I got it, never seen the attraction of them but they're great for getting air flow through in the summer rain!😁

@@Bloodshed.restorations Thank you. I will check them out. As you say, great for airflow and for stopping rain ingress when the windows are cracked open.
