Barney , '68 L620

[carrottopper]

hi everyone. been on here a bit now but for some reason not put anything up about our ride. well here he is:

pictures from when we first got him

havent really done much to him yet ( apart from mechanical stuff you cant see! ) apart from putting the eagle 5's on. also had a new roof rack delivered today , got a new header and exhaust on the way , and collecting the interior from being re trimmed on saturday

and the reason i call him Barney?

i think he looks like an owl! i think its the colour. the missus doesnt agree at all!

How has the van been lowered? Do the front tyres rub?

 

[carrottopper]

it doesnt rub at all dude with the tyres we have on

 

[mattd1984]

How has it been lowered? Drop spindles? also be interested to know the size of the tyres. Really like the look

 

[carrottopper]

not 100% sure on the way its been done. as far i know its had the beam done with adjuster. not got dropped spindles and ive fitted bugpack shocks. the tyres are 165/50/15s
