Strange how it has a half blanked exhaust recess in the rear valance.

I have a decent lower valance with deep spoiler/splitter thing if you are interested. It's grey though...

It's been rear ended and replaced with the wrong panel. I knew this when I bought it as the last owner told me that the it spun out on a roundabout and gently nudged a tree with the rear end. It's been done quite well so I'm not fused and it's not a show car.

I might have that lot off you mate but I might see if I can find something a bit more local first.

Looking good Nick, a vast improvement already with the bumpers. How's the bathroom coming on ;)
Just out of interest, how much did you get for your van???


You got any pics of your dad's split ?

The bathroom will start when I get paid for a wedding shoot I did the other week.

Sold the van for £700 as the water pump was fecked and it couldn't be driven. The chap with a white T25 who lives behind me bought it.

Yup!

You're stranger than I thought.  You sure you shouldn't have held on to that T25?

A CB and aerial definitely don't figure on my 'track car' wish list  :huh:

£700 for a camper?  You numpty - should have done the waterpump - a running would have been worth probably triple that.

I oonly bunged the CB ariel on for a laugh as I took it out of the camper on saturday.

The camper was just a panel van with a home brew interior (that is rubbish) so £700 ain't that bad. Especially as the engine was starting to rattle badly and one head was weaping water. My neighbour is going to swap the recon lump from his old van (which is badly rotten) into my old one and job's a gooden.
