ok xmas is over and new year so close the silly season behind us
its time to look for this seasons project ;gotta be a mk5 (as mk1&2s seem to be getting top dollar nowdays and shame to cut one about)
i dont wanna do somthing like the last one ,gotta be a bit more radical
so i bought these xmas day off ebay for £90
Image
they are all 10" wide so it looks like its gonna have 6 wheels as their too wide for a pair on the front
now just to find some cheap donor vans
if its got tits or wheels its always gonna end in trouble !!!
anyone can restore a van but it takes a real man to chop it up !!!

Plenty of cargo space in the back of Transits for a rocket engine......or maybe the softer option...a jet engine :lol:
