FREDTRANSIT'S MK2 MINIBUS

[FredTransit]

You saw her first here, and shortly she will be all over the cinemas and music channels by this time next year! From scrapper to star, we were first offered the bus by an old mate who is a member of the church who last owned her. The engine had a serious oil seal/head gasket problem, and they were ready to cash in the tax and scrap her. Too good to scrap I thought (6 month's test too), I paid for the outstanding tax and got a 2L OHC HC grannie engine (B reg) from our favoutire scrappie and off she went!

THIS IS ME WONDERING WHAT I HAD GOTTEN MYSELF INTO..........



I hadn't driven anything with four wheels for maybe 15 years or more, and to be honest I am still getting used to the shorter wheelbase!

GOT HER HOME AND TOOK A CLOSER LOOK AT THE BODYWORK. OOOOH DEAR................







Well, it's been a while but I decided to hit the filler myself, our body man is gonna to hate me..............................

WHAT'S THIS ALL ABOUT??!!



Well, here are the after shots, and what I call the 'stage one blow over' paint job,

HERE'S THE AFTER PICCIES!







Yes, I know I am not a professional bobyworker (you can't tell! ), but you have to admit I did at least try!!!

There's more. Camilla, as we now call her, is going to be a star.
