Bought some now Stainless spring washers for my Westy windows:- ![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v129/Chrisradioman/Dekota%20Beige%201979%20Wsty/Milly/Rivnuts_zps5421189e.jpg) Some more rivnuts for the rest of my screw holes:- ![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v129/Chrisradioman/Dekota%20Beige%201979%20Wsty/Milly/009-2_zps6d6874b9.jpg) I even got myself a Bentley Manual; from Just Kampers:- ![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v129/Chrisradioman/Dekota%20Beige%201979%20Wsty/Milly/Bentley_zps895d8f37.jpg) The Bentley Manual is so much better than the Haynes one, I was stuck on an electrical fault on a cossover Bay today for hours using the Haynes manual n the end I tried my M8's Bentley manual & it all became clear, it only took me 10 mins to fix. The Bentley & Haynes use the same diagram but there was more info on the Bentley. ironically I got home today & mine had arrived. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

Wow, I didn't ever think I'd see this getting painted again!
I know Lee (the previous owner), hes a good painter. Him and his mate both imported buses from america at roughly the same time. I think the other was an orange one, which lee painted too.
Nice to see it getting looked after so well though!

Wow small world, I was considering visiting Lee to get him to paint it again but decided in the end to get these guys to do it as their more local. How is Lee is he still living in the same house, I might fetch the bus up to show him when its finished. Tell him I said HI & the bus is in good hands. ;D
