Those colours are the best IMO (but then i am bias), great looking van!

 

[Speedman]

Well, we've finally got it now, went down to Bournemouth to collect yesterday with some friends(Dumbobus from here)

We headed home, stopping to fill up

and grab fish&chips by the pier

We took the lazy route home through the New Forest to get used to being on the wrong side of the van

Everything was going peachy until we ground to a halt on the M3 in the dark and again on the A33

Luckly Kavan had a spare battery as the one fitted wasn't charging up and after a second swap we got home at 8pm. The camper is going to our mechanic for a check up and the bloke we bought from has promised to cover the cost of sorting the dynamo and battery problems, so a happy ending (I hope :? )

Driving it across the New Forest with our friends behind was brilliant and we're both looking forward to many more roadtrips, we've got a Le Mans and bad camberg trip planned for the summer and lots of shows to get to 8)

Just waved goodbye to the camper for a few days....

[Speedman]

first sneaky peek of it post lowering session

collecting tomorrow :wink:

 

[rob-stone]

lookin good
how have you done that?

 

[dubberdaz]

Nice van, good to see some of you changing from the White OG. Mine is not such a common van this way!
Are you going to change the wheels too? If so what you going for?

 

[Speedman]

Dropped a spline at the back and on BusBoy adjusters at the front, work done by Ashley at BerkshireBugs.

I'm keeping the stock steelies with hubcaps for a while, i quite like the look of them to be honest 8)

 

[gninnam]

That's looking nice 8)

Will look mean with the hub caps on

 

[Speedman]

Just back from collecting Leonard from BerkshireBugs, we fitted the number plates and everything is sorted now (I hope), the lowering looks great in the daylight, just enough

Whilst at Ashleys I had a hunt around the interior and found the original childs bunk that goes across the cab, with its poles and this pile of stuff

Maps are from the late 70s early 80s, the sick bags are clean and there are no sausages in the Frys bag :roll:

On the way back i stopped to fill up and got "out classic'd" at the pumps by a Cosworth powered RS2000

But now we're home and Leonard is back where he belongs in our carpark

off for a drive in a bit

Looks great - you must be thrilled!

Cruise on...

 

[Speedman]
