My new year resolution is to tidy up the little rust spots that are starting to appear and to give it a good brake/Mechanical service,it has proved bulletproof over the years I have owned it,it needs a bit of time spending on it now,it even failed to start on me one frosty Morning. :shock:
Here it is as our Bedroom at Imp Nationals.

Anyone else have any Van related Resolutions?

I have made a start tidying up the van,new ball joints and drop link bars fitted by local garage for me,it had developed a nasty squeak on the steering which is now cured and it's driving superbly again,need 4 new tyres,a windscreen and a bit of paint to get it back to how it was when this pic was taken...

I have some feelers out as far as the windscreen and local garage reckons he can get tyres for approx £50 each fitted so will update here as and when....
Thanks for looking guys.
