Greetings from Sunny SA :D

I'm based in Johannesburg-South Africa and found this site looking for ideas to incorporate into my current project; a 1961 Morris schoolbus motorhome conversion that I am currently getting back onto the road. No plans for full timing in her but the end goal is to do a Cape to Cairo trip eventually so being fully self contained is vital.

I've got lots of work to do, she was parked up as a permanent campsite for about 10 years so the steering wheel, brakes, engine and a few other bits and bobs have disappeared, she also needs some cabinet work and plumbing. I've managed to find a donor vehicle for the mechanical bits so at least that's one major hurdle behind me. Now its just a case of getting my toolbox stocked with oversized sae sockets and getting my brain to start thinking in inches instead of millimeters so that i can get down to it.
