well as long as when its all done and on the road it gets just as famous i dont mind

[ake]

Was there a van in that picture

[nila]

well had a bit of time today so thought i would start on the dash as cant do any welding yet.
so dash partly stripped
then sat looking at the buttons ,wanted them to stand out in the day so did this
old buttons
new buttons
then got looking at the tacho do i change them for stock do i put mondeo ones in or how about this

and once all the bulbs have been changed for leds light still shines through and they look normal at night .did try taking a photo of light on dash but stupid windows phone cant turn the flash of .
tell me what you think is it a keep or bin job.

Got an MOT coming up anytime soon?

had none on when bought it but did think about that myself .with the standered bulbs in you can see the original dials through the white vinyl so with leds in there i might get away with it .
also know a man who if structerly sound and everything works as it should anything like this could have been done after m.o.t test

[nila]

nice wiork m8y keep it up

cheers mate ,got the ideas and done a few vans before but this ones a keeper .just need the weather and a welder then some serious stuff to do.

well been busy doing some model cars for a mini stox driver.





the lad was well chuffed and his dad has a model of every mini his son has driven from 2006 up untill last years mini stox so picking them up with photos to do decals for them .
so while i had 5 mins thought i would do a bit on the van .

front bumper off hole to patch or just replace wing .


bit of colour going on rest of dash going black .
getting pi^*£d off as got to wait untill the 29th before i can buy a new welder (love chopping grinding and welding ).

[TransitVandal]

Looking good mate:)
i think your throwing good money at bad with that front wing though.
Surely an hole that size warrants a new wing?
Get a new wing slapped on you tight tw@ lol.

looking good how did you get your dash white like that every time i try i get bubbles in the paint

[ginsambo]

Like the white dash - what paint did you use? Normal synthetic/primer?

Thanks for posting that pic of Emma off of White Van Man - God she is so horny..... Watched them back to back the other night, well funny, but she especially really makes it worth watching....

cheers for the comments as for dash give it a bloody good clean i actualy found cillit bang works a treat for degreesing and getting all the shite off then a little sand with wet and dry dust off and spray .if you do get like the bubble effect where the paint dont stick leave to dry then sand back that area and go over again allso i heat the plastic a little with a heat gun and the same after finished spraying ,makes it bullet proof .normal synthetic and plastic primer used.
