well its wet and miserable so no windscreen out today
might just finish off painting the floor the rain cant get me in there lol
and start making the next things to do list
the wheels i bought to go on ive sold as id rather have big slot mags they always look better on transits
so it was bite the bullet and get what i really want have been lookin on ebay usa some nice wheels but shipping is expensive
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 !!!

NOOOOOOOO Pat youve sold the wheels!
ok so I prefer slot mags,but those wheels were nice.
Glad to see your keeping YOUR van,you would have been gutted to see it in some one elses hands.
Show the jobsworth the mot and ins and tell him to piss off or you will set your tranny mates on him.
Now hurry up and have your fun in the chevy and get that v8 in the tranny.
KEEP ON VANNIN all the best .
