just edging my bets here and i would love to get my mk1 ready for transit mania
but just in case it isnt i bought my big wheeled bearing eating mk5 back tonight in a deal on a vauxhall movano van that i swapped a escort estate for the other day
so its now on my drive again :D :D :D its been painted white(badly)
and more lights on it than the national grid .ill put some pics on tomorrow
it ran out of mot 3rd august but taxed till october
needs a bit of sorting as its been standing in a guys back garden for ages
if the worse comes i can always strip the goodies off it for the mk1
but at the moment its a dog around
if its got tits or wheels its always gonna end in trouble !!!
anyone can restore a van but it takes a real man to chop it up !!!
