ok this is the list i've had back from people.
Chris, feel free to edit if someting can't be done due to time/space constraints

Bugs
Floorpan halves I could do these but would be march/ april earliest
Heater channels "
rear 1/4s "

service - oil plugs, points timing Lee - fancy being conned into the timing?
Rear brakes and hub oil seal - jon's offered to 'teach' that one
Front beam replacement

gearbox/axle boot replacement - I need one doing so could do that

Vans
complete brake fluid change
New front on early bay - chimpy, lee & me
Possible front on late bay - chris

anymore stuff - add it to the list

Probably the best to start with would be the basic engine service & adjusting the front and rear brakes

Chris - any ideas on possible dayes?
cheers
Steve

Count me in for anyhing with vans....might mean I stop harrassing Steve with emails,txts etc that mainly start with, 'how do i do this...'..and end with 'HELP'

flat4fanatic

forgot one - prepping a bug for paint - chris

thehopster

She's at the garage in Bulko now....Steves gonna check it out today..bit of a mystery really...he was getting 15Volts with the alternator running...could be a number of things

I'll help no problem they all seem easy enough jobs to start off with,just depend's on when due to my wife works 2 night's a week & at the mo i'm sevicing my van & overhauling the van brake's.
That charging problem sound's like the regulator is playing up not regulating the charge allowing it to over charge at 15v,,,,lee.

Okay no problems - guess we should start with something that is easier and relavant to most prople a full service/timing etc or brakes.

I go into hospital tomorrow and will be unable to do anything for anything from 2 weeks to 2 months dependant upon what they do to me. That said it won't stop me opening up the work shop and taking photos.

Give me a week or so to get over me op and then we'll book the first job in.

(The prep fro the bug respary has started the wings are primed and stone chipped (underneath) and the wheel arches stonechipped. Today we have a small amount of lead loading to do and then prime the body. - Most of this work is being done during the day as my mate is helping and really only likes working between 2.00pm and 7.00pm Mon-Fri but if anyones around in the afternoon then they're more than welcome to come down and watch/help - pm/e mail me)
