Postby Vandalism » Mon Mar 21, 2011 2:47 pm

at the weekend i went on a trip to york with my mates, we went throught retford to visit a friend and came across this!!
wow i said to my self thats crustyer than a french baguett - 70% filler, 20%rust, 10% mould :lol:
this van is situated on the road out of Retford railway station, if anyone lives near there i sugest you go and have a look :lol: 8) id still be temped to buy it tho (for a bit of fun) :roll:
its an early one(1980) having round head lamps and mk1 wheels - the front and back indicators/lights have been fillered in and replaced with different ones :lol: :roll: also rear windows plated up...the list goes on.. :)
the front hubs look different - they have a sort of grease nipple sticking out the middle :?:

Surely that rear arch would have failed for having sharp edges
