used the van yesterday on a rescue mission as my m8 had broken down with a car full of disco gear
she started sound still havnt got round to mot yet ,so ended up with a £60 fine on m6 for no mot ,
think im just having one of those weeks,
so its sitting on back of pub awaiting some much needed time & tlc
still havnt got around to weighing tax in either.

you could have got around the fine if you were taking the van for MOT repairs. i was driving one of my spares vans through buxton after buying it,got pulled up due to exess smoke and no MOT luckly for me i was on route to my mobile mechanic who happens to be a gypsy with no fixed garrage or phone.
anyway good luck with the project cant wait to see what you do with her.
