That's a shame :( It was a really good van, and I kind of miss it.

But to some, there just a work horse

I sold my "old" seats when I converted to 2 singles. Completely immaculate, perfect with no marks or scratches. A builder bought them as his old ones had collapsed. When I asked if he needed a dust sheet for them he just laughed and threw them in the back of his van, on top of the plastering gear :shock:

He said he just needed new seats and I was the closest :(

Really easy :D I didn't even change the steering wheel squib, just cut a hole in the shroud and stewed it from the back.

It's only 2 wires :D

Not if we can help it!
There was another one after my old one, from the same batch, ST56 GMG, I don't know where it ended up, it was in a front end head on into a tourist in a hire car on a single track road, about 3 years ago

Edit, just checked, and its still on the road, must have been repaired

There wasn't any wires fitted, I just cut the plugs of a focus at the scrapers,

As for the sunglasses holder, go careful :) And I straightened it up a bit with the heat gun :D

I hate seeing my old motors around, but worse is when the person you sold it to wraps them up into a wall! :(
