Calling Bristol EB... a favour!

[mginty]

Is there anyone in the Bristol area that can help me out with a BIIIIIGGGG favour (espec. as I've not met any of you - hopefully to change!)
I've just had my van fully restored (except for the interior but that's not what this is about).
The only things outstanding on the body are the front and rear bumpers and the wheels. Bumpers are not a problem however the wheels are proving to be tricky as I don't have any access to off-street parking.
To sort the wheels out I need to take them all off and get them to the paintshop for spraying via getting them stripped . I don't really want to jack up the van on axle stands on a street so I'm wondering whether anyone can either accomodate a van off street for a week or knows of anywhere I could do this. If not no problem, I know it's a big ask, will step up my search for a lockup in south Bristol.
Hopefully will also try and get to a OVC or KDC meet in the near future and introduce meself!

if it helps Fella im in windon and can loan you 4 wheels to sit it on ?

 

[uber cool]

Maybe someone has a set of wheels you could borrow, that might be easier, or search ebay for cheap wheels

Smudge that's very kind of you, I may well take you up on that. Swindon would be no probs - OH parents live near Reading so go past there regularly. Am just also looking at lockups as have some stuff in storage at the moment and it's costing an arm and a leg. I want to get it all done at the same time (bumpers and wheels) and have to wiat for a shipment to arrive hopefully in March so if I can't sort anything out prior to that would that be good for you?

If you are 5x112 stud pattern, I've got a set of 4 in Bristol you can borrow

Your van being a '69 means you'll have 5x205 as standard though.

I've got a set of 4, 5x 205 wheels with sh*tty tyres on you can borrow.
Give me a ring on 07970 685374

Thanks guys all for the responses. I've got a 1970 so would the 5x 205 be the stud pattern I need? I won't be doing any driving in it - just need something to sit on!
Cheers

They're just sitting in the garage. You can borrow then when you're ready.
