Has that bumper got black stripes on.

Has your log book arrived yet with a cheque for £25, how long before the beast is back on the road being driven very slowly avoiding anything on the road and shouting at anybody who get within 20 foot of your shiny new toy. N

It's a sport top section but i was scared to remove the black bits Lol.
Logbook came back minus the 25 pounds +postage +post office fee Lol.

But all is well, 1 former keeper which ironically is a leasing company :?:

I'm waiting on this guy to call me to take it to get the leg pulled.

If you want to remove the black bit and assuming its just vinyl also the writing on the roof use a hair drier to soften the adhesive and gently peel it off then use wd40 to remove any adhesive that is left before t-cut or polish,

Or get some black vinyl stripes on ya bonnet.

Are you keeping the racking in the van may have to study the pics to make something similar in my van. N

The racking is an awesome workshop but it's not really what i need as it's a car/dog van/day van/camper the mrs may frown upon me squeezing 1 of my 4 dogs into a cupboard each :lol:

My dilemma tho is that the drawers are cool and i should be able to rearrange it to something that it's a better layout, it looks like meccano.
That means I'll probably have stuff left over but I'm not sure whether it'll be of use??

Ideally I'd like the middle to have windows and seating like a dciv but have a rock and roll bed and the back compartment to be a kitchenette type thing but removable cassette type so i can still use the van like a van or atleast save weight when not out in it, also i could have dog cages instead for everyday going foot walks.

That's the idea anyway :shock:

I'm frustrated waiting for the guy Lol.

:lol: Essex, not really London then :roll:

Annoyingly, that's the exact opposite side of London that I go to regularly, but we may still be able to sort it :wink:
