Custom MY Custom

Postby Vansexual-@d@m » Wed Jul 19, 2017 1:49 am

And the day came....all those choices, all those different options, what should i get, what can i love, what could i look at an put my own little touches to, what can i do up yet still use it for my odd jobs and.............SOD IT! IM HAVING 1! a Ford Custom. This coming from a fella who, up until recently was happy enough pottering arround in a little red 1.2 fiesta, nothing special just a runner, but i loved it....until the day of the MOT., died a death.
Now ive got my project and im on and in every website, forum, magazine, google, you name it. checking out what has been done and how i can tweek it to fit my style.
All opinions are welcome and needed as you may spot something ive missed, could have done better or that you would like to take from them. Watch this space, and wish me luck!

Sounds like you’d be better off with a VW T6.

I'll admit im am fussy with it, its my first van, its my first NEW anything! i was a bit uneasy at first, as all ive been used to is driving around second hand diddy cars. but i was chuffed when i drove it. it turns on a coin, pulls well, got some kit in the cab (BT, DAB, IPOD port, Phone ect).
I would have loved a Vdub bit i cant afford Vdub prices :wink:

And we begin with a paint scheme what will work well with a white van? im a big fan of anything bike racing but i still would like to incorperate some of the M-sport in with it. so im going for a black and green colour theme. if you know of kawasaki team green. so ive got a roof rack, took it to bits and my dads sprayed the struts up for me and the tip ends of the bars, primer, silver base coat, and green over that. a good few coats of lacker, chucked them back together....and jobs a fish!

Good on ya mate i can understand your excitement first van first new vehicle of any kind, and your mind is spinning with ideas can't fault you, make it your own identity go for it. Keep us posted with the mods i love seeing different styles etc. Vdub are not all they are cracked up to be either.
