Yup, list of jobs done including replacing the gearbox. Heater is teed off the heater hoses from the engine. In theory it’s a 4.5KW jobbie, so I hope it does the job.
If this doesn’t get me enough heat, I do also have a petrol powered eberspacher somewhere..
This was the other job finished today, oil cooler brackets and Teflon pipe work.

Epic.
I'd be very interested to hear how the heater works when you get it back on the road. What thoughts have you had about pulling more heat out of the engine? Any thoughts about it affecting it's operating temperature? I've no idea, it's just got me thinking

Looks good.
Nice clean looking drivers door too...

Freshly sprayed drivers door, along with all the rest of it I could reasonably do (so seat box, bulkhead internals and rear load area are still in blue)
The lesson on all that is don't bother trying to do a garage respray. It's a nightmare!
Between keeping the dust down, the right temperature, having enough space to do the job, colour mismatches between different batches of paint in the same colour, existing poorly bonded paint lifting and so forth - it's a nightmare. Won't be doing that again.
And in all cases, don't use 2K paint at home, ever, withouth full breathing kit - So I did this all in cellulose.
When I re-chassis it, I'll likely go back to the original marles blue on it again - but pay a man!
