The one I had that rotted out had taken out several cars, concrete and metal posts in car parks and even wrote off an iron gate! (Whilst still in student union ownership!)

I am on the lookout for another one now


This is your old rotton one you flogged me mate,,,, it's bent as a nine bob note but I have repaired it as best I can and I'm sure if I jack it in a few places it should straiten up, the hardest bit was getting that plastic crap off, I didn't realise it was so bent till i had already refurbed it and fitting was a pig but it's got there and looks cool,,, you can buy it back if the price is right, I can make something else,,, also do you want a couple of semi rotton/dented semi high doors? kevs old ones???

I did say it had some rot... but I didn't know it was twisted (that might be as a result of the welding?)

Been using the van quite a bit, been really busy with the band, sung at a massive gig called the rox in front of several thousand people, it was awsome http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWvY3YXy ... ature=plcp and the van performed well too, it goes really nice but I still have a slight hunting that's getting annoying now, does anyone have any ideas as to how I can stop this, injector cleaner hasn't made a difference and it only does it under load not in neutral,
hopefully someone can help,

Cheers guys and i'm gutted to have missed hayling meet, I didn't know about it till I just looked at meets too late, only just got my laptop working again :(

can't believe it's time for the mot nearly already, I have been working on the van for a year, hopefully all the work will have paid off and she will sail through, mind you it's done less than a k since the last mot lol,
We are expecting child number 2 in november so sadly I might have to think about selling my pride and joy and buying a window van or minibus as it's not very nice in the back without windows apparantly :cry: hopefully I can find a torneo or something else that's transit based in auto, I don't really want a caravelle or vito as I love being on this forum, if anyone is interested in my van please let me know it has very low mileage and will have a new mot soon, it goes really well and if you read this pr you'll see what has been done etc, will be very sad to see this go as I know I won't get another as good as this with such low mileage, and although I have no history from gsk I know it has been well maintained cambelt has been done and I have had engine and gbox oil done less than a k ago :!:

I think windows are a bit beyond me mate, too high up for a start, I can't find any seats either, I think a tourneo or swb mini bus is going to be easier for parking etc as an every day van, I seem to overhang all the parking bays in this one by a fair bit, would love to keep this one but just don't have time to chop it about and can't seem to find any belted seats to put in, then there is the hassle of doing all the dvla stuff for extra seats etc, the van is being wasted doing less than a k in a year I'd rather have something that I can use as an all rounder, but don't get me wrong I'd rather keep it and get a car too than let it go cheap :!:

Wow matt that's really kind of you, do you have any windows or a solid sliding door with window in as mine is dented? also those seats look good do you know the seller??
cheers dude, still have the hunting wanna get that sorted, do you think it might just be the pedal?? it's not really an issue but as it's such a good van I want it to be perfect, Ideally though I'd like a lower van as mine is so high off the ground it's awkward to lift large objects into the back, my one ninety was much lower and this is only a one fifty, I rekon it's got an extra spring in it or something,
let me know if you see windows or seats, but if i add seats do i have to get vic checks and sh*t?? :?: and I want seats that will fit the propre transit bolting points, unless I find some rail that goes with those seats for sale but I can't see any on there,
cheers mate your a star,
