MattBlackMinibus - Progress Report

[MattBlackMinibus]

there is no "legal" sound limit, it just has to be reasonable for the vehicle (except motorbikes which do have a limit and the exhaust have to BS marked)

Doesn't have to be BS marked anymore, mine isn't and has been through several MOTs. What my MOT man told me was as long as it doesn't have "Not for road use" or similar on it and it's reasonable/comparable to another bike it's ok.

Well I say it's definitely reasonable for my vehicle. So that's that then
Cheers

As promised, a pic of my new rear bumper in place.
I didn't plate the ends up, or weld on the irons, but found some nice bolts instead

Please excuse the state of the van at the moment.
I've had enough of putting matt black over rust. It all needs treating.

Also done some rust repairing and removed nearside rubber trims.
Just ground back and glossed over for now. I'll fill it all at a late stage.


And a new picture of the front with visor.

so thought of this instead

I like it, are you doing the whole van?

[MattBlackMinibus]

I really don't know. It's just rust coverage right now.
I might combine the EspaceF1 design with this

If its for rust coverage then its really the whole van

Bodywork is embarrassing me now


So I decided to start attacking it with a wire wheel.
I took off the front wheel to do the arch, and got a bit carried away...like ya do


Then carried on down the side


So now it looks much worse than before
But it's progress

If anyone's interested;
I used black underseal inside the arch,
cream hammerite on the suspension parts,
and a zinc primer on the bodywork.
