Jays crew cab dropside

[jay]

This was transitandys crew cab transit..



Immediate things to do are a wheel bearing on the front but may do both sides at the same time.My more future plans are side marker lights and remake the buck base as its got a few holes in it which shouldnt be to hard to do..then fit my winch to the bed so I can load my stationary engines onto the buck as well as a paint up of the chassis and floor.and maybe fit some better clear indicators along with clear side repeaters...I also plan on fitting some new rear wheel arches.
Bought as a poor runner but after a flush of the fuel tank and new fuel filter and replacing the lift pump as it didnt seem to great a pressure along with fresh diesel it fired up and ran really well.

A new grille would do that the world of wonders.

I washed it but dont look to closely as i missed a small bit(thanks to the bloody nosy neighbour ) Wife suggested I polish it today as weather looks ok....

You're going to look a picture when you get the caravan hooked up on that Did you take the horseshoe off or has Andy put it on the other van??

When you get the little bits fixed, it'll be a good van No stupid rear doors to worry about

And don't forget to colour code the mirrors

yeah saw the newish lift pump and didnt think it was faulty at first but after a bit of running it had a slight leak from it so changed it for a secondhand one that i had in my stock pile of 1 day it will be useful pile (think everyone has a shelf/pile like that or is it just me)

matthew I only just realised they are off the front..(I got a big box of used horseshoes if anyone wants to buy any)

done fuel pump mod today as egr has already been done. Goes even better uphills now,The real test will be in the next few days when i hook up the caravan and go over orwell bridge.

looking good thinking of painting my bumper now ps put mesh on the front of the body mines the same av broke the rear cab window loading up with wood whoops

Fitted my reverse cam the other day.Makes it much easier to couple up to the caravan or trailer when on my own..Had this cam on 3 vans now and about 2 years and its still working which isnt bad for a £3.50ish cam.
