Today I started to convert my wheelchair converted maxi life back to a standard 7 seater.. Ramp is off and have plan to rebuild the floor etc back to level.
So far so good

Changed my front passenger side wing which had horrible rust issues because of a previous repair (the arch had been welded from the inside) to a better used one. Now I can't get my front bumper to slot into the bumper bracket

Had to top up my coolant, I suspect a small leak somewhere. Not much, just a couple of dL since I last filled before christmas. Any usual culprits I should check? Don't see any puddles anywhere, no white smoke in the exhaust nor residue in the oil so I don't suspect it's the head gasket. Water pump, maybe? I'm at 140km / 86k miles.

Had something very similar, turned out that the plastic inside the oil filter housing had perished. Replaced this and no leaks since.

This was an oil leak, no? I'm slowly loosing coolant.

The coolant passes through the filter housing along with oil for the heat exchanger.

Pretty good video here and the signs to confirm.

Mounted caddy life mirrors. 2 hours of fiddling and only broke 1 clip on sail panel and lost 1 bolt inside the door. Sail panels were a pita to remove. But absolutely worth the work.

Yep.

Looking lovely

I can recognize those broken clips and lost bolts situations! Every time I go on and try to improve on the caddy I also tend to brake some clips

Nice upgrade! Im looking for Caddy life mirrors as well. Looks so much better!!
