You can't leave all that mud on the tyres. What if someone from Cliosport is looking?

Have just got not home, the van drove perfctly 150miles with no issues...
Well here are some more pics... Plenty of work needed...
This is how the passenger door stays closed...
Note the extra security brackets... They have got to come off...
These caps over the locks are crappy... Looks like the locks have been removed and foamed up... Will investigate..
I love the way you say project as if you do loads and see them through to completion.
Yet another failject
you might want to start writing the for sale advert now. By the time you've finished writing it, it will probably be up for sale. slightly cleaner, slightly lower, with fresh wheeltrims..... "making way for 172 project"... £1000 ovno.
call me Mystic Smeg.
Have faith... I was looking at steve's 172, but i didnt act fast enough...
The van should be a laugh, Its a project, but aint going to get my hands dirty...so it will be completed.
lol was going to say 'next project' - which one got finished. Van looks good from pics though, paint looks surprisingly well to
Paint isnt to bad.... For £250 its ok actually....
Tempted to put the diesel in the 5 & run it with veg oil.... Cheap motoring and all that
Penfold the dealer, you beat me to that one, rang them at dinner and they said gone buddy just this morning. But might of found another, as long as you've not seen it to lol
I have seen a few... Was very tempted with an disability one...
The garage i brought it off annoyed me actually as i paid £100 deposit on thursday... They said they would remove all adverts & if i hadnt collected it with 14 days they would relist it.... & yet they relisted it within 24 hours... When i called them they said oh yeh dont worry about that... Its yours.... Bet if somebody offered tfhe full asking price they would have sold it to them
I like this one tho, the towbar will come in handy to...
Also collected some buckets seats on the way home from a member called trojan... Paid for them in october... Never got round to collecting them.
The van is already in use for storage... Have the rollcage, bucket seats & 3 sets of alloys in there... Still more room
Yer there very roomy in the back, my mate just bought gt turbo spares van yesterday and it goes very well. Had run in it last night and very stable round corners. Thought I'd by one and convert to turbo,, need to rid off some turbo parts into something usefull and sell on again. Found another for dale a little nearer so I'll give them a ring tomorrow.
If you knock on the side, does Sooty, Sue & Sweep appear??
std ride height and if its windy on the old roads jezzzzzz you feel the van from side to sidemuch better when you lower it though.
Van failed MOT today...
Passenger door not closing
No windscreen wash
Split steering gaiter
Nothing tragic
Chop chop lets see some engine transplant pics, lows, wheels
Or just skip that bit and show us the for sale ad'Chop chop lets see some engine transplant pics, lows, wheels
Which garage did you buy it off?
Fengate Motors... Right in the middle of peterborough...

Oh yeah,I know where they are. That'll explain the first picture you took outside the Maccie D's in Boongate!
I thought it looked familiar too, only 2mins from my work.Oh yeah,I know where they are. That'll explain the first picture you took outside the Maccie D's in Boongate!

The Gauntlet has been thrown down..... again.
JRP, can we have some odd's on this one again please??
Gtt cage wont meet the rear arches without work matey
yeh I know, sorry my last post made it all seem soo easy haha.
No rush for this van, but over time it should be a good one.... wont have the power of yours tho Brigsy..
Blimey Shoppers, I'm surprised it failed the MOT, what with that bunjee-cord fixation in situ...
If you lose heart in the project, stick a tea urn in the back & job's a good'un for ND weekend.
Aii, that extra weight at the rear will improve handling & front-end grip...180bhp + a tow bar = win
Mean i can run slicks on track
Dont you worry about Grip my friend... it will go well enough
Like if someone was sitting in the passenger seat for example?
Any more pic's of those seat covers?
Them seat covers are legendary... also found a pic of the previous owners wife/GF... will upload this week...
New door lock has been ordered.. as soon as its here its fitted, and hopefully sort the steering gaitor out before going back for a re-test.
Or a set of 1210s, mixer and a bass box

Little & large
Or maybe £500 & £1250 ONO?Little & large
Be a good profit there....Or maybe £500 & £1250 ONO?
Would this be odds on him selling it before completion... if so id go for 1/33.
If its for him spending lots of money on it and keeping it id punt at 16/1
Even money 1/1 says it sits for a long time.
what does SP stand for painted on the floor? Is that sellers priority
Sale Pending!what does SP stand for painted on the floor? Is that sellers priority

Engine is coming out of the red 5... Will be sold as a rolling shell
It's sure going to be a shell, you're going to need all of the GTT bits out of it for the Van.
