Mk2 V6 Mines Rescue Restoration.

[RETRO PUG]

Hi all,

Here are some pictures of my co-owned MK2 monster. A mate and I are restoring it, hoping to have it mobile within a few months....







We've just had the engine re-bored, new pistons, and alu timing gear.

Hope to start the rebulid this week....

nice one looks like a good base van - whats the plan for the finished van? are you keeping it kitted out as a mines rescue or some other plans

[RETRO PUG]

We want it to be a fairly practical van, we are always lugging car parts around.....

We hope to get the original graphics re printed or at least a play on them...

I'm a big fan of catalogue poses
Picture two is an excellent example.


Good luck with the project

Thanks mate, I was going for the moody yet determind look. (while covering some rust on the wing!!!)

Anyone have a couple of wings?

Red Bull will give you some....



(sorry - couldn't resist )

(side note - I drive past (sort of) where you are every day. I live in Swansea and work in Newport )

Yeah, cool eh! Two on each side.

I'll try and post some pics of the block soon.

Could anyone tell me or at least guess at the MAM (maximum authorised mass) of the van please?

Is it not on the VIN plate? VIN plate should be on the passenger step.

Still a way to go!
