I know this video is probably quite a bit behind. That said hell buddy fair play to you. You and Ash don't do things by halves do you! Hope all works out fella, you and Amber deserve it and she is definitely worth saving with all the work you have put into her and her getting you through the way she has done. She has gone through things and places she was never designed for and got you out the other side. Long live Amber!!

Changing glow plugs can be a challenge the carbon buildup holds them in place many shops drill them out which sounds sketchy to me. There is a sprinter motor swap in my future too good luck

Andie Frogley

Wow what a task. You almost had me I thought amber was on her way out. If ya need an extra pair of hands and 4 paws just let me know I ll come down for a weekend I might even bring some cider🤣🤣🤣

I was going to answer that maybe you could sell the van as "dash vents with a van attached", but the "Next Time" video shows you continuing to dismantle it! :) I feel your pain with dash and wiring - I'm halfway through trying to split the loom out of my project car (I took the dash out leaving the loom in place, but I can't put it back like that!) and it's taken many months because it's just too much! It's occupying my garage, but that's nowhere near as much hassle as being your house! Good luck.

All I can say is good luck with it all. I've not got a clue about anything mechanical so i totally take my hat off to you CJ. X x

Awesome video, loved the bit where you highlighted the parts you were keeping reminded me of scraphead challenge. If it was easy everyone would do it

0:08 Project.Amber projecting embers… Now, this is going to be interesting – fetching the 🍿 May I recommend you also swap the front wings. Those patched rectangular holes look horrendous…

It was inevitable that Amber's powertrain would go, but the silver lining is that you are more than capable of the transplant and bringing her back to life! We're here with you in spirit CJ, hopefully the resurrection goes all to plan and maybe you can squeek some upgrades in here and there whilst these major works are under way!
