Van looks good painted like that, lawn looks pretty good too

[Richieintransit]

Just a thought ...
It's a Mk5 Van,
yet put a Mk4 grille and Mk6 bumper on it,
and it looks SO right!
Who'd have thought?

FORD You Need Me

some older some newer,,,,, back to the future!!! looks cool mate, i already done the mk4 grill I thought about doing a mk6 bumper before seeing this and now i seen it I am gonna try and find one!

Thanks Richie You can have mine if you bring me 20 fencing pins

20 fencing pins???

[Richieintransit]

did you paint the van matt black with spray cans mate and where is the best place to get matt black cans if you did as my mate wants to do his?

I didn't mate, it was matt black when I got it,
but I use halfords matt black aerosols on it which blend very well

Yes, exactly those, but old rusty ones will do

Picked up a set of used 225/60-16 van tyres a couple of months ago
and have finally got round to having 2 of them fitted on the back.
Gone are the car tyres from the front, so now have the old rear 195/65s on the front.





They look like they're outa the arches, but the treads still under ... just
And the side door still opens ... just.

So chuffed I got the tyre white pen out a touched in the writing.

Time to declare that this project is finished.
