So... bit of a debate here of van name..anagram from reg.. Lux or Flux.....
Anyway,.. I planned on just getting the van on the road..mot, engine and brakes..get it safe.... but got very involved now due to C19 lockdown...
Last summer engine came out for serious rebuild. Andy (mutley) on here has it and in safe hands keeping me up to date ..due back just after lockdown ends...pics saved of build will be added here and looking forward to seeing/getting it back and in... ...
I'll be posting what I'm up to here as much as pos...please add comments peeps..
Not gonna repaint... just make it solid,clean bits paint and put back ..New if I can get and rebuilt odds... some stuff I believe is just not avialible..so I've knocked these up...now someone will tell me I could hv bought them
So... underside cleaned degreased and recovered with stone chip Schutz style..
Was hard work.... I've cleaned,degreast, wired down oldskool style..rust treated items,and hammer painted plus sprayed bits..May not be gen colours etc..but clean and looking ok....can't wait to get stuff back in.... days are counting down Andy....get my heart ready please..
Please note....
All this text has been copied from the mk1&Mk2 transit forum....Fred Transit locked my Resto topic because I told the truths about muttleymk1 (andy)...I will continue to tell people about my woes with both of them..so, if you seen Andy's name mentioned on a kind mannor it's early days of the Resto...he stole my money and pulled the wool over my eyes and done same to others that hv pm me...Andy and Fred will be reading this....and they both know I'll not let it rest until Andy pays me back 1100pounds he took from me ....
I'll not talk about it here anymore for all to read ...incase I upset the moderator....but I do feel people need to be made aware of what goes on ...
Let's move on...
