Is the makeover van just a dream now or do you think we may get
to spend another weekend working on it that's if we have the parts
to do it
I know we are all busy with our jobs and our family's and money is
a bit tight for every one at the moment but it would be good to
see it finished after all the hard work that's been done by so many
people and not forgetting its for a good course :)

Hopefully we can get the van over to BillyBoy's in Northampton sometime soon mate. He has been to a few of the makeovers so far and is keen to offer his assistance.

He has a big ramp and painting facilities, so hopefully we could move on some with the project, we could even put a V6 in it!

Put your names down here lads, come and have some fun, let The King teach you to weld and take away those skills to use on your own van 8)

Yeah, you can put my name down again too.

So Tim, is Craig actually going to be teaching his welding skills this time? You can put my name down for that as well . . . . .

Welding :? :shock: It`s paintwork we need to do now.Getting the shell to match the odd doors,sld,bonnet etc.Also fitting the elusive Als bumper,now it`s been found.Then the interior needs sorting.Who`s got the spare V6 then? 8) (liking the idea).
Would love to see some arches on it like Pat has done to his 6 wheeler...................................ok then get that welder out again :lol: :lol:

Mate, I am sure we can find you some grinding to do, the King can do some welding, 4x4 can set fire to his overalls and I can 'Christen' Billyboy's new spray booth, shall we do it ice white, diamond white, or shall we just mix it up ourselves? :lol:

I'll pick up the AlanN special bumper at the next Essex meet I attend, be good to get the 'Plastic Magician's' handiwork on the van, his work is magnificent, 8)

V6? V8? We don't have to 'copy' Ford, what do you want in it?

At least Billy's place is a bit closer for you mate.

Hopefully we will get some new faces along,

If only I had the vocabulary to describe how much fun these weekends are, and how much we all learn by sharing our skills/knowledge with other members.

These weekends have taught me so much, there are so many on here willing to share there skills and ideas, well done to all who have, (and will still), contribute, without you all, this forum would not be the same 8)
