Nice van dude!..... I've got a micro bus with a late bay Riviera interior

Think I've got a spare one in the unit mate, may need a good clean out though but at least thats possible, we steamed cleaned out the one thats gone in Billy to avoid this, I would have thought you would have flushed most of it through by now??

Let me know mate and i'll see what I can do about getting it to you,

Yes please Mr G.

Vans going in for a gearbox swap in a week, so have been waiting until then to clean my tank. It's driving me f*cking mad!!!!

While i'm still awaiting the outcome of the 091 gearbox strip down and the delievery of a newish fuel tank ( thanks mr G ).....

I thought i would start to remove the "tiger stripes/old respary" off the van. :roll: :roll: :roll:

I took me over 3 hours to very slowly remove the old paint. Only managed to get the o/s rear 1/4 panel and half the rear door done.
At this rate it's going to take me a few months to get all the old paint off

Anyone got any tips on removing a sh*t US respray :?: :x

Wish i never started :lol: :lol:
