I started looking for a new van (mk5 smiley) but even though I travelled far and wide looking for a solid van I was having no luck until an ad on ebay caught my eye,it was for a 95 smiley which looked a bit tarts handbag but was apparantly solid as a rock underneath. a 4 hour train ride saw me paying for and driving home said van,it had some rot in arches and bottom of doors but the chasis is solid as a rock,I drove the van about for nearly a year before getting the arches and scabby bits sorted,its in the workshop at the moment being 'tended too'
Pic of when I got the bus
This pic was taken on our first camping weekend in the bus,I have already taken off very many stickers from the sides, back, bonnet and even stick on space invaders off the windows! (took me bloody ages!)
So fast forward to 2 weeks ago and this is how it looks at the moment....
I have had limo tint put in the back and side windows and slight tinting of front door windows,the alloys came with the van,it had a ladder and roofrack fitted which I have removed (for sale cheap?) I have taken all the seats out of the back but will be refitting a tripple tourneo if/when I find one plus two single seats with armrests up front. I will update the pics as and when.
