    Im using Easy Off on my single cab to get the original grey back. Its working great. Easy off on for 20 seconds, scrub with 0000 steel wool, then wash with a rag soaked in water.

    6v gauge on 12v will often read low. On mine full is full but 1/4 tank will read empty. Wipers are great on a bus. They do a wonderful job of smearing the water around. haha

    Don't forget to change the carburator bypass solenoid as well, the one that blocks the air flow for idle once your turned the ignition off. ;-)

      Oh I disabled that before I installed the carburetor 😂

    Not gonna fix that small hole under the tank? You know, put a little Por-15 patch on that pin hole. I’ve seen things fall off your bus before..but a fuel tank could be spectacular!

      With any luck, soon 😂 I want to do it right. The entire floor needs to be replaced and I just don’t have the money for that right now. Hoping maybe over the winter.

    I think a little grease on the wiper motor gears could only help the noise problem.

    Fuel gauge and wipers - I recently did that on a 1965 sedan. Surprisingly complicated, for me anyway.

    Having never messed with a bus. I wonder if the little voltage drop domahicky that are in a lot of beetles would work? Dropping the 12v down to 6 specifically for the wipers ?

    Hey Taylor, Mike from Mike Fn Garage claims that single cab is painted in a rare color 'Postal Yellow.' He says had to be special ordered, and not many around at all anymore.

      It’s not. It’s Turkis. M plate confirmed.

    I notice you are missing a tire loop bracket. I will send one to you since I have made some extras. Just askin.

    If you’re keeping the MG logo, does that mean I can order overnight delivery for the GT? 😉

      You can certainly order whatever you want, but no promises considering it takes 2-3 business days for the Scab to reach highway speeds 😂

    You're evil. The yellow is going, what a shame. The good thing is that wiper motor is going to drive you nuts which is payback for ruining perfectly good duco. Honestly though I do hope it quietens down.
