You can't make it up. Right snowflake failed the mot so I repaired it but on top, the guy wasn't happy so I over did it underneath, the panel was the n/s/f under wing but from the chassis leg to wing top. Proper job. Anyway he went off happy, the mot guy is on holiday so he took it elsewhere, they went in balls deep to fail it.

Anyway the guy has already bought a new van as he's driving a lot and wants something that will last.

He's on about scrapping snowflake but offered it to me for £300.

Wheels would fetch close to that I think with 2 new tyres on. There's 2 new batteries on it. Side mouldings, windows etc.
I could wait a few weeks to mot it at the first garage.
I told him I'd let him know tomorrow.

A white table would complement the red table and look rather festive

Well the biggest transit learning origin for me has finally been retired.
The van that got me onto this forum before FB groups were a major thing and one that many have helped with either parts or advice in the early days and since.
The tinworm has succeeded in making her half the van she used to be but since she's fairly water tight.
Is a large movable space, and has a decent engine, gearbox, propshaft and diff, it's being retained and repurposed.
It's useful storage for various transit parts including.
3 ranger gearboxes.
2 engines.
1 crane
And a Plethora of smaller bits.

Over the weekend it fairly unceremoniously had its guts extracted ready for the next learning curve to see if I can make a 08-2.4 Mk7 fit a 2015-2.2 Mk8 with some basic changes of course.

We need to do a telly advert....

For only £3/month your donation could save poor Snowflake from a horrible fate.

A life of fear and uncertainty.

Your donation would see Snowflake cared for and loved.

Would you begrudge £3 to help.

Other then the rusty bits it’s no too bad, £300 is a bargain, buy it back you know you want to

No need, a nice chap from oop norf will be taking snowflake away on a road trip, and the red table too. But mums the word.

I'll be keeping some select bits from it which I hope aren't noticed missing. :shock:
