What he hasn't told you yet is that he is STILL having the odd problem.... if it were me I'd be throwing all my toys out the van and having a MAJOR sulk about it! lol

Still, Delilah throws fits every so often and will decide to block up all her jets in the carb... so I guess I shouldn't complain too loudly.... still waiting for her to be fixed from it though!!!! hint hint... nudge nudge.... :wink:

Well he is still going (fingers crossed :wink: ) I have fitted beacons, new no plates and polished him all up. He has done 3 jobs so far and lifts really well, petrol lump needs a bit more stirring of gears but seems to cope OK :D

Started to cover up his rear, I have used marine ply to begin with. I will cover that with 0.6 mm tread plate ally. I wanted to use one sheet of 3mm ally but I would have needed a mortgage :shock:

Also painted his new (correct mk3 wheels) and put 'em on the front :)

Looking nice. Where did you buy your marker lights from? and then green lights on the roof?.
