This van rules

Clean and simples looks good to me 8) could drop an inch or 2 on the front maybe if looks over practicality is an option :wink:

Hi guys.sorry to butt in to this discusion,but ive only just noticed this thread.If any ones still looking for mefco 8 x14in banded wheels,i have a set of 4.3 are fitted with Bf goodrich 245 50 r14 radial ta's and one is with out a tyre.I had been planing to fit them to my ex bt 120 chassis cab but ive decided that 15's will give me more choice of tyres.If any ones interested in them,please feel free to PM me via the forum.

Has the rear axle been changed on that MK3, as I have seen much wider tyres that only just reach the outer arch?
This is Browny's MK3 with 255 or 265's, nice fit 8)

and my sad-o's 225's with spacer :roll: hence why Im having two banded :D

Yes i did change the axle.The van was originaly a 1.6. pinto.I re- engined it with a 2.0ltr and swapped in a higher ratio axle off a mk4 as i found the noise levels on motorway runs a bit too high.
