I really like yours! I didn't do the fabrication, it was done by the guy before me. It was done well though.
The tailgate fell off when they were towing it from mines to his, it was only placed on. It really needs a new one as it's bashed to bits. Not a big deal though.
You should have taken it, he's never driven it. It's only been out the garage a few times.
It's a much better spec than what he had advertised. It's low comp, BD cams, T4, plated diffs, paddle clutch, AVO's, twin fuel pumps..... I've got the full spec written down somewhere. It's got ALOT of good bits on it.
I know what you mean, a little prep would have seen it looking good. All the doors etc on, washed with tyres pumped up and it would have been alot better for you. If you don't know the car it would have been a hard one though. Best to meet him during the week lol, there all party animals they live for the weekends.

The fabrication work on the van is quality hats off to you for that and I have had second thoughts about it as I know it wouldnt take much to finish it. The tailgate was all smashed in and the van looked like it had been in and out his garage a few times as the concrete was destroyed off the exhaust bottoming out,and the way he come across Just made me think he had prob been out blasting it about the streets without the fans wired in and all the other factors it just didnt seem right.
If he had even pumped the tires up and stuck the doors and tailgate on it before i turned up i'd had probably come home with it, not really keen on driving 145 miles with a trailer and car to have the door answered by a bleary eye boy wi a can of lager in his hand either
