MK5 120 SWB Low roof with alloys

[MinorMatt]

Borrowed a few pics from Vandalism... Hope thats ok!

Last run... smoking KH turbos (literally!)








This is the run where the helicoil failed on the tensioner... resulting in:



2nd run... a little smoke from Dieselhead






And the 1st run against dieselhead123 (untweaked from roadgoing spec)

Wheel spin off the line



Got the drop



No smoke no poke...

A bit of a distraction with a tourneo...

But this is now being prepped for paint by KalKat - i'm hoping shes taking pics!

[dieselhead123]

Should be good to see mate

well it won't be a final paint scheme at transitmania... just plain old white due to a few problems when painting and running out of time

But an ideal base for the new colour scheme

[Richieintransit]

Sounds good

But an ideal base for the new colour scheme

Colour scheme eh?! Not a single block colour then.
Something over white ... Interesting Matt ... Very interesting

Glad you got some paint on mate,

I might just wash mine

See you in the morning, (today )

Kalkat did get some paint on but unfortunately ran out of time to finish it - so it just looked like a (rust free) white transit!

On the way up to transitmania I had a very rapid and loud drumming noise coming from the roof area above 55mph - it turned out the screen trim rubber had lifted when it was masked! I pushed it back in and it was fine on the way back. The tracking also needs doing along with the wheels balancing!

Some of these pics are pre - MOT back in June so bear with me

Repaired/Modified rear crossmember - now made of 3mm thick box section



New wheel arch with guide coat on





Rear chassis repairs (again 3mm section welded in - but galved!)

was very strange to see you in a rust free van matt

[MinorMatt]

I would think its more odd to see one thats more or less 1 colour?

[Richieintransit]

great work mate, hopefully get to see you in a van soon, i've only ever seen you in a car lol

keep up the good work

[MinorMatt]

thats because the car is cheaper to run!

[Richieintransit]

must be the way you drive lol
