My poor old mk3, RIP

[geordie white van man]

Here are the pics of my mk3 going to the "pie in the sky" sort to speak. Some of you may well remember this van as the one I had as my avator after I replaced the front from a mk5 transit over a year ago. Well now its got more holes than a tetley tea bag so Ive "knacked" it for parts.
What she used to look like,


Unfortunately she looked like this the last time I saw her




Sorry about the poor camera quality, they were taken with my phone

Did you fit the grills in the back pillar

[geordie white van man]

well sort of, I cut the pegs off the back of the grilles and stuck them into place. Looked good though

wouldnt have minded the front hubs

[geordie white van man]

If I had of known mate you could have had them! I had put a new wheel bearing on the drivers side about 3 month before I scrapped it and it had new pads about 2 month before that! All of which got scrapped!

Commiserations!

Are you keeping the engine?

[geordie white van man]

Yeah im keeping the engine and gearbox as they are absolutely mint. The fuel pump had just been reconditioned aswell so no smoke at all from the engine.
