Well started to tackle to bad wiring in the van and decided nothings worth saving as it's proppa fucked and tbh dont know how the previous owner was ever hoping to get it runing a 2K engine.

But then the rain started lol my pal is popping over soon to spend a day on it with me and think we'll get it all done and ready to turn the engine over tbh.

This still to be pulled out through the iner wing to the fuse box area.



This is what's come from the bay area already.



More soon, have a freind who's offered to do the side skirts for me as a favour as I did him a favour this week.

More less boring updates soon lol

Shame mate, you'll get another one no doubt, everyone needs a project and your previous ones all looked good.

Didn't realise there was issues with um mate, i'll let you know but tbh think they should be OK as the Diamond cuts seem to fit well but I am yet to lower the back end on it. I'll keep you updated.

I have focus offset alloys and lowered with the axle mod and i have added 5mm spacers no issues for me, unsure how yours will sit depending on your offset.

Cheers bud.

More Pikey action on the RS today lol nothing left on it now of any use I think.

Wanted fuel lined and pump from it though so whilst two mates popped over, Mick and Kieron we just lifted it up onto a pallet but at one point Mick let go without saying and nearly killed me




Kie's big ass lol




Speant a couple of hours on the vans engine side of things today, as having to change the engine from A/C PAS to NON A/C PAS.

Only trialed fitted front alloy on to check clearance but seems to be miles of room tbh.









Plodding on with it though lads.

That pallet

What was it then, you wedged a pallet in there, thought hmm, doesn't quite look strong enough, I know, we'll rest a wheel up against it, that'll be much better

Nearly there though!!

Honestly? Richie, the wheel placed more force up against the pallet and actualy made us clear the pikey H&S rules of turning over a car, thus leaving us fearless of standing under it removing the fuel lines and pump
