Ched's 72

[Ched]

Iv just finished a year n a half of hell doing up my first house/garden and Iv been dieing to get my hands on a project Low light. My mates have all got split screens and early bays and thought it was about time I joined in!
I recieved a random phone call off one of them telling me of a 72 just 5 mins down the road from my house so I knew I had to have it........So £100 deposit and £800 when the blokes back off holiday this will be pissing off the Neighbours

Only trouble is I have to sell my last project to fund it

welcome and good find, pre 1K projects are a bit thin on the ground nowadays, well done

 

[Ched]

Thanks Ant
All I will say is it's a good job I can weld!

Oh and your van's been my desktop pic for the last few weeks! Wicked Van

Welcome to the Early Bay (and crossover I see) brigade!

By the way I love your Polo. I remember as a school kid, a parent who used to share the school run with my parents had the identical colour and year to yours. It was brand new, and I much prefered travelling in that car, to the guy's other car, which was a Jag XJ6! It was also the first car I travelled in whose wipers had the 'luxury' of intermittent wipe! Silly the things one remembers! :lol:

 

[Ched]

You had taste at a young age Doug!
I love that Polo but cant keep both

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Welcome Ched that Polo is dope buddy , the van looks like - a challenge

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA nice one windsurfer

The vans already testing my strength and iv not even got it home yet - Turns out it is actually a van and not a camper!

Never view a camper with a hangover..................

:mrgreen: Thanks Ched! Yes, I know what you mean about not being able to keep both. I've said goodbye to several lovely cars in the past, which I'd have loved to have kept in a growing collection. Oh for the technology to shrink our cars down to Dinky Toy size, so we can keep them indoors and display them on the mantlepiece when we're not using them!

Why not convert it back to a van. Panel the side window in, put a camper interior in it and get it sign written. Not many panel vans left. :mrgreen:

agreed and graft in a glass roof, there's loads of modern cars with glass roofs now, so you'll still have light but the privacy of a panel.....

 

[Ched]

Yeah I had to sell this to put deposit on my house

Im toying with the panel van idea, would certainly be the easiest way but the little voice in my head wants a camper for next summer...and how hard can it be to weld in window frames!?

 

[Danbury Doug]

We appear to share our good taste in cars, Ched, outside the veedub world too!
Here is my bus's 'mate'........

 

[Ched]

No way!

Iv still got stacks of mini bits, I will build a Mk1 one Day!
You may not be so impressed that my daily is a new mini tho!

Looks really nice, Have you done the work on it yourself?

 

[Danbury Doug]

No, I'm afraid I can't claim to have done the work on it myself. I bought it as it is, 8 years ago. It's the third woody I've owned.

I don't mind the new Minis. At least they have a sort of retro look to them, and infact I rather like the new Clubman estate versions. It just looks so odd, size wise, when you see the new ones next to the old!
