71 Deluxe SA Import - used as it should be...

[61 stu]

The fact that the van is about 80% original paint makes me wonder if repairing it is the right thing to do. The actual repair isn't a problem and shouldn't cost much to do its how i use to earn a crust.

repair it dude - colour match's nowadays can be spot on even with faded sa buses

are you fit enough for Battlebridge?? if so see you there

Sadly not at Battlesbridge going in for my op tomorrow, then it'll be 6 weeks :shock: before i'm allowed to drive :roll:

Got these off Tim so while im recovering i'll strip out the tri-fans, clean them up and try to fit them to the Bays lights.

:mrgreen:

Removed the old heated rear window element

After a lot of tooing and fro-ing finally got the spring plates sorted :roll: along with new Spax adjustables

The new stance

Just need slightly lower profile rear tyres and fingers crossed on the dropped spindles to bring the front down a little

MOT - straight through no worries , plus a service and a mild notching at the back

10k miles this year with a smile on my face for everyone of em

 

[BigG]

You got that stance and ride height pretty spot on there mate 8)

Got back today from Kessingland, Suffolk after a great weekend with the family in the bus, covered hundreds of miles with very little effort and no probs other than the occasional grounding out :mrgreen:

Outside our (surprisingly good) caravan

The caravan was literally next to the sea 8)

Sunrise with my dog - Fred

Stopped off at Southwold for some pasties and tea

All in all a cracking weekend :mrgreen:

 

[gninnam]

Cracking pics and great stories from your trip
Van is a credit sir :mrgreen:

Thanks for the nice comments

 

[Grazy]

Looking a bit lower and a bit better for it mate 8)

 

[Airtime]

Really like this van! Great colour, great stance! 8)

IMHO I think it would look even better with the wheels painted white (match bumpers/roof).

You might be right, been wondering whether to paint the wheels white or black :?:
