MattBlackMinibus - Progress Report

[MattBlackMinibus]

More info -
The 240v ac transformer on this particular one gives out
12v and 5v, both dc, plus two earths,
so the hard-drive is ideal for in-car adapting.

I'll get on it. It looks a LOT better (I think).

good work m8 keep it up

[MattBlackMinibus]

Lowered?


No ... just some concrete slabs on board


Well, the wait is over;
Here's the new grille finally captured in pixels


Come the spring I'll get it chopped out and fit some weaved stainless mesh,
and in the bumper as well.
Not while it's cold though. No no no no no

Did manage to replace my w*** offside headlight today though
with a nearly new one, and will do the other side in the new year, so they match.

You're not wrong Luke. I could feel the chassis twisting about
Gave it 65psi all round and it pulled the speed limit for 100 mile trip
Transits RULE

Cheers Andy I wouldn't know about the Mk3 bonnet mate
Do you want some measurements?
I imagine AlanN (A.K.A. PlasticGuru) would be the man to ask

[MattBlackMinibus]

Just a thought ...

It's a Mk5 Van,
yet put a Mk4 grille and Mk6 bumper on it,
and it looks SO right!
Who'd have thought?
