Hi lads, just to let you all know, I spoke to AlanN last night, had arranged to get the van to FordBoyNick's place on Friday, might have to be Thursday now as I need to use my transporter, (empty), on Friday.
I will get the van over to you and hope to see a good lot of you over the coming weekend :D
Have we a list of 'outstanding missing parts'?
Do we still need the floor plate?
See you lads soon :D
