| Subject: NOS Sliding Door Latch Spring Thu Oct 31, 2013 2:51 pm | |
| This little fella here is really hard to find on its own. It gives tension to the latch holder to keep the sliding door locked open once its opened up and goes on this latch here which goes onto the body: Here is how it looks once its complete: Eventually got myself a NOS one in Netherlands with Jeffrey and would soon be on its way to complete the Sliding Door mechanisms/restoration on Missionare. |

| Subject: Unpacking the Missionare Bits Mon Nov 04, 2013 10:31 am | |
| As have been shared, the Missionare bits had been waiting to be unpacked since their arrival since working days didn't left much time for me to unpack. Yesterday being a sunday was a good opportunity to finish the job and sort the items out. When it all started it looked a big mess; And slowly all the good things were unwrapped/unpacked and there were few surprises in there, almost all of them being "good". For instance these front walkthrough OG Trim seats which looked super clean just a bit dirty and thats all. No rips nothing. All knobs and hooks and frames/springs everything is in perfect shape. With these on Missionare, helped by the previously arrived walkthrough bulkhead from USA, Missionare is once again a walkthrough after donkey years:) The middle seat arrived as well and is nothing less either and to add to the delight, its in the same OG basket weave trim as the two front seats. The RHD sliding door was brought in too. Overall its in great shape and comes complete with all the rollers, hinges, catches, locks, handles everything. However needs some repair at the bottom. Again no biggie, it would be fixed when the van goes for a body work. So all it needs at the moment is assembly and it would be hopefully in full working order. The EMPI Trigger Shifter arrived with the lot too with another 5 dozen bits and was immediately put on because I really didn't feel comfortable driving around with the stock shifter which was rather lousy. I know its not the shifter but the worn bushings, which have already been ordered but EMPI would make the shifting a little better until the bushings arrive. The uninstalled stock shifter with extension Also came with all these Missionare bits the trike that I had bought for my son. This would keep him busy while I work on my cars |

| Subject: Sliding Door Now Restored on Missionare Mon Nov 11, 2013 9:35 am | |
| Missionare's sliding door eventually put on, after donkey years, with all the latches/mechanism/catches/handles refreshed. Though its still missing the rear striker plate RHD specific rear striker plate hunt continues... Plz excuse the mess inside the van as its being stripped slowly and steadily for a ground up. |

| Subject: Some More Missing Goodies Sourced Mon Nov 25, 2013 6:24 pm | |
| Sourced some more missing goodies on Missionare that have waited this long, for their turn to be found, mainly because of low finances Thanks to my mate Adrian, who came to rescue again (sourced Wheels Bolts from him lately). In the following pics, the parts crossed are not included, only the parts which are not crossed. Here is the short reference for memory; Pic #1: 1. Interior Rear View Mirror (6 months only i.e. July 68 to Dec 68) 2. Bulkhead Ashtray complete 3. Heater Control Assembly Control Rods 4. Upper Brake Fluid Reservoir Pic #2: 1. Single European Spec. Headlight 2. Rear Bump Stops (pair) 3. Outriggers (two rear ones one without a jacking point) 4. Pair of heater pipes
