    In part one of our side project, we take a 34 year old ex-library bus and begin its transformation into what we hope will be a hotel on wheels with the added bonus of being able to transport any of our vehicles at the same time.

    • YouTube

    In part 4 of our side project, Nik reveals his cunning plan much to Richard's chagrin. We do some more stripping, more drilling, and there's a lot more impact gun action. The front axle gets some attention as we aim to get the truck back on her wheels.

    • April 12, 2020
    • YouTube

    In part 5 of our side project, we swap the rear axle for a much more modern unit from the DAF. But not before making even more mess of the poor old Cargo. The running gear exchange gets completed.
