Mk3 X BT home camper conversion Sparkys van (Parrot)

Postby scooter » Mon Feb 18, 2008 2:31 am

Hi everyone just to let you know the story so far,i bought this van 2 years ago from the guy who had drove it and had purchased his own van from Bt ,first thing was the camper conversion ,which i planed for a week or so ,then sripped it out,i know most of these vans were done in wood effect so for this reason i chose ceramics and modern facings plastics etc,as i had never attempted such a feat then the neighbours were in for a show from behind their blinds lol.
I got it done in six weeks then set about stripping the chassis back to bare metal ,which i then covered in resin on the outside and filled with wax oil,talk about sticky hair.
the wife myself 2 dogs and Sparky the parrot (who by the way is the top rated parrot for swearing on youtube ).we all have had great little holidays all last year and all it cost is the diesel,well living in Scotland who needs campsites when up north is like one huge free campsite.
Anyway thats the story so far next thing is to fit new front wings as iam fed up repainting them,
fitting wings will be new to me ,but iam going to have a go the only thing is welding tried it once deary me just wish i could bolt them on.
any way heres some pics next.

In this clip he tells me to...turn that off boy...Oh fur f**k sake ..I'll kick your ba**s son....
Thing is the wee guy means what he says people will keep teaching him bad words.

Sparky is naughty in his latest video he says ...I smell pussy oh gadz a wee jobby mummy....
I will need to check out Dino ,also Ruby is pretty rude.
Sparky just auditioned for Brittains got talent he did'nt like the producer lol.
got an email from Lilly Allan wanting to use a clip .
Its all a bit of fun and if he makes other people laugh that can only be good.

Mate ive only just seen this post too.. That is one cracking camper conversion you should really be well proud of that, i bet you are i know i would be :P
Sparky, that beautiful African Grey fella is simply the best parrot i ever saw. Him talking like that would have me in creases. Almost real conversations.. he's well clever :)

Sparky "Turn that off boy" you "its only a camera" Sparky "oh for f**k sake"

Absolute f*ckin pi55er
