Well, it was a typical bank holiday weekend, a bit of a washout really... Saturday was simply cloudy so we took advantage of the lack of rain but sorting out the odd 'rusty' bits on the Camel. We had a rusty bit of capping on the rear of the vehicle which I rubbed down, primed and painted whilst Dan worked on the small patches of galvanic corrosion on the roof where the steel of the roofrack had reacted with the aluminium. We've now just got to wait a while for the paint to harden before t-cutting, paint restoring and making the Camel look shiny before putting the roofrack back on.
Other jobs this weekend pretty much just involved a 'service' of the rooftent. It's had quite a bit of use since we brought it 18months ago and the ladder and floor is in need of a bit of repair after suffering the rain of the English weather. Still, one of the reasons we brought the tent was because we knew these jobs would be easy to do and it's now sitting in the lounge waiting for the new floor...which I can't get because the roofracks not on the Camel - we really should have thought that through!
Only a few jobs remain: a metal frame to make the area behind the drivers seats level. This will ensure we can slide the table in along the floor under the water tank/our bags etc and provide a level platform for storing clothes bags and the filing box. Also, carrying out the 'anti-rattle' mod for our X-Eng handbrake. After that, should just be a service and ready to go!
