I get a phone call about a week ago from my good friend Nelly telling me hes buying a new work can and would I like his old one.




As you can see it wasn't worth passing on so its now mine, as for plans well I intend to give it some tlc, de sticker it and hopefully sell it on once its all good.

 

Some current pics defo needs a bath

 

Where's the cossie bumper gone off it?

 

Needs repairing as it got damaged around london all the time, comes with the van tho

 

The van arrived on Sunday so I got to work by giving it a wash


Also took the seats out to deep clean the carpet and replacing with my better recaros

Raid steering wheel not a fan so it will be coming out

Some cleaned pics bar the engine bay

Dirty engine

Single wiper don't like that either




So that's it for now plenty of tlc to be done, updates when it happens..

 

Lovely!

 

Love that! Dont like the stickers (although I do strangely like the colour sceme of them :-/) lol

What does it go like?

 

I've not driven it bit my mate is a mad man in it he says it goes off the clock, I say its probs not far off it.
Stickers will be coming off as its not my company it was my mates.

 

Hurry up and get it!

 

I have it mate

Nice one! Let me know who you insure with.

Got to get my engineers report done in the next week or so, then I'll get MOT then just have to tax and insure the bugger!

 

My mate had it insured with flux with everything declared he was based in London was around 800 then he had a bump so it was 1800

 

nice van mate,do you have any problems with water leaking into the foot wells? as mine has this problem and i have looked in the most obvious places i.e door seals,battery tray,and floors for any rust holes. Do you have any ideas where else i should look,any ideas would be greatly appreciated many thanks

 

Looks well mate as above flux was best quote for my rs van

 

thought I heard through the rumour mill it was being broke for spares
