£350 MK6 crew van project

Postby kev 3dr » Thu Jun 09, 2011 7:21 am

I got hold of this back in feb after a few headaches with the previous owners having fuel problems with it for the price of £350 where they have had fitted a recon fuel pump and still was the same (struggles/ wont start seems to be drawing in air somewhere) problems so currently trying to get the plastic fuel pipes to change them in case one has a pin hole etc as ive just renewed the filter head too which was FOC thankfully !!!

Plan for the van is mainly to get it clean as possible as it was a plasterers van so you can imagine what state it was in !! Then it will be used mainly for running round collecting dead and abandend projects mainly MG's Jags and daimlers etc for my uncles business and also for towing mine or stickys car around for trackdays/shows/ring trips etc and for following varoius rallys !!

You could always take out all the seats and jet wash them, I have done that to a van i bought, the seats came out like brand new. The dirt was just pouring out of them, it was a hot summers day and they were refitted that evening.

Good find! Image

And what a transformation a good (and no doubt long) clean makes.

Looking forward to seeing the interior before and after photo's.

Thanks for the comments so far :mrgreen:
Made a big start on interior on thursday and ended up taking seats out and pressure washing them, painting white some of the ply line and removing the rubber matt and washing it and cleaning the floor under it.
