Went on a bit of a shopping spree tonight, missus was heading back from London so I thought, balls to it, lets have a look about.. Egay was the stomping ground of choice..

Then I decided to order some stick on lettering as a numberplate for the front bumper and a black and silver pressed plate for the back of the van.

[superfunkyfresh]

Yeah mate, still at it.. Got a good list of parts to fit now. Just need to get on with it really...

Hows things with you?

Picked up a little run about from Luke in Ipswich this week...

4 inch Narrowed beam with dropped spindles and adjuster on front
3 splines down on rear.
Shes pretty damn low but fun as hell to drive.. Worried about MOT time and her being too low though.

The drive home from Ipswich, in the dark, with 1 working wiper and it pissing down, tramlining all over the A14 was emotional.. Dropped to -2 at one point with no heating made Dicky feel rather down..

 

[superfunkyfresh]

So its been ages since I posted anything up but here goes..

Recovered all the seats..

Installed the SMEV (just need to wait for t-trim to come with cutter from America

Added a propex

Doesn't look like much but this is a list of the jobs completed.

Smev installation with split pipework for propex
Propex installed
All seating recovered
All door cards recovered
LED Lighting installed
Leisure battery installed

It's been a long time, but I've decided to get stuck into her again. I've chucked some pics in below. Going for something a bit different... Its not without its challenges..

 

[superfunkyfresh]

A few more pics of the work over the past few weeks. She's getting there slowly.

Looks like a lot of bodywork! Was it bad? I dread the day I need to do mine. Fair play for doing it all yourself. I'm in Cheltenham too, not seen many T2s about - the only other one I can think of seeing recently is a late bay - dark green I think, with a no. 8 on the spare wheel cover on the front. Give us a shout when lock-down is over.

 

[superfunkyfresh]

It's not too bad tbh mate. The window enclosures all seem solid, sill was always going to go. The rear arch wasn't too bad but I thought do the whole lot instead of chasing the rust.
