Hi andy.If you fancy coming along,the next Makeover is in Reading as stated.The project does move around and was started in Ecclesfield in Yorkshire.Then moved to Hooe in North Kent and then on into Essex.Billy has had the van stored for a couple of weeks since it was moved from Essex by Dieselhead 123 to Transitmania in Northants.Exact address of next weekend will be posted nearer the time.Would be good to meet up with a fellow LPG owner :) Keep a look out on the Six Wheeler threads on here.So might see you in Berkshire?

hi mealic

thanks for thereply there

readings a bit far from me as i work away all week and dont get home till sat and back to work early hours mon but when you say it moves around will it be coming further north?
i only asked as it seems to have moved around a lot i thought there might have been storage / workshop issues!
cheers

Andy.There certainly are storage and workshop facility issues.Do you have a unit or access to one where work can be done over a weekend?

hi yes i may be able to help but we are a bit far away but i do own a large barn which is about 12 years old so is warm and dry and is a slightly smaller than the first workshop
used according to the video on youtube
it has lighting and power and there is a largeish concrete area outside which i can prob park 6-8 transits outside but i also have a 12 pitch caravan site behind the barn which we plan to open in march 2012 so theres room for plenty of parking / camping?

the only downside is as i said im between boston and skegness??

anyway let me know if your intrested as we would like to help out if its for charity!

cheers

like i said i can store it permanently if needed but i do need to clear the barn a bit (its amazing how much crap you accumulate)

but there is easily room for the van and room to work round it , we also have 5 kids and 3 dogs so long as people dont mind an audience although the dogs will mostly be in the garden behind our bungalow

also sharon has asked what charity is it being done for?

like i said i am handy in most departments so am a willing volunteer!!

Just a quick question how is the van getting there ? as there's a 9.5 ft bridge on cow lane if you come from Tilehurst so approach from caversham side :wink:
