Default Combi Turbo Van! ( long term project!!)updated!!!!!!!!

right, better start a resto page, tis gonna need it!!

just bought this back ( from Benn304r) as i sold it him abt 2 yrs ago!

i bought abt 3 yrs ago as a diesel, with the intention of doing the turbo route!! but i run it in the ground and sold it on ! (sorry benn) anyway...

this is how it looked when i had had it bout 6 mths ( when i bought it had 88 spec bumper, twin headlights, and loads of other 'wrong bits'.





will get some pics off benn soon to show ya what needs to be done!!

He really is thick still no licence and driving a escort convertible no tax or MOT for at least a year around st helier estate and he got the roof down trying to look the bolloks . Wonder if hell sell it as cheap as the stero equiptment he used to get ?????
