Nice progress on the engine work so far, how are you towing the shi*ter though, bar?... is that even legal to do in those circumstances?

Yeah we have just got back.Used a bar.I towed Ryan using his 16v which performed fantastic towing over 50 miles lol.



Its R32 blue with sparkly glitter chucked at it  :grin:

Its very solid though and have perfect leather bar a small hole in the drivers bolster.
Inpro lights up front.CDA Carbon airfilter,coilovers etc.Smoothed doors and bumpers and the tailgate has had the plinth removed but not the badge and wiper hole for some daft reason!
Some very 90's sprinter wings too.

Anyway its got everything i need. :evil:

Get your orders in for spares bar the running gear :)

Glad we got back without any dramas, and glad my car/clutch was up to the task.

Congrats on your purchase even if it was a little more than the misses will ever no about ;) lol
