Delilah, now blue and white!

[Muttley]

Picked this one up tonight, 2 owners 83,000 miles. It has never been welded anywhere! Chassis is near perfect only needing minor attention with a wire brush Body work is not so good with repairs needed to both wings and both rear wheelarches. Doorsteps only slightly rusted, leading edge of bonnet also not good. Screen surround, scuttle and dash are rust free



Only one pic so far as it was dark, will post some more tomorrow

[Nadjenka]

How many do you have now? And how are you going to get them all to Billing

What are the plans for this one Andy?

[Muttley]

This is no 5, this one is to replace Honey. This is a much better van to start with having no rust underneath and much better body work I will sell Honey to finance repairs to this one

Nice one Andy.
Far better bus than the Banana,let's see it painted and at shows

[Discobandit]

Sounds better than my Mk5

[Muttley]

Sounds better than my Mk5

Mk2's are in general less rusty than Mk5's, weird eh?

Spent some time today, mainly getting it useable for the wife



Comfy seat, padded Mk3 wheel, custom dash pod, phase 2 dash for stereo




Paintwork is responding well to a cut and polish Will do till I can afford full respray



How about them doors, hardly a spot on em

[transit jono]

Now that looks tidy Muttley,what a result with the rear doors Custom reversing lights too-nice.
The reg looks familiar?

[Luke]

nice one looks pritty solid and also being a phase 1 better looking that the later phase 2

Yes I deffo prefer phase 1. Maybe I will fit phase 1 panels to muttley

[Hitch]

cool another mk2

looks a nice clean example

[Muttley]

Thanks Hitch I left the wife and son alone today and guess what? They finished sorting out the paintwork






Next will be some new number plates and refurbing the black stuff(bumpers etc) I have a better bonnet to fit and the passenger seat has to be replaced, I know what I'm doing at the weekend

[Hitch]

what did they do??

t-cut it

[Muttley]

No, just polished it, we use a resin wax called Auto Glym. Its quite expensive but it really gets dead paint back to life Hard work for the arms though

[MattBlackMinibus]

No name yet ??!!
Looks like a Dolly to me, going by the reg plate.

[RustWidow]

Well, my shoulder and fingers/wrist haven't stopped throbbing yet! lol

Her name is Delilah

The son wasn't impressed at how hard it was to rub the wax off - I told him he should try putting it on - you have to rub about three times harder than when taking off lol

Anyone got a nice high stable step ladder? I couldn't reach the middle of the roof! lol

I want her on the road NOW!!! Drives a lot nicer than Hunny - although the clutch is a b***h!!
