I still think about this van all the time since its feature. if you ever fancy a split screen swap let me know
 
So it's about time I got the van out of the barn and actually gave it some TLC.

It ran out of MOT September last year and hasn't moved since :(

Work starts tomorrow!!

Then needed to get the roof off ready to be re-sealed - I'm liking the look of it without the roof!!

Gave it a very quick wash and still as shiny as ever :D

I like it more with roof on! Highroofs are cool! :D
Very nice bus! I'm looking forward to see more updates!
Cheers Reto
 
I wasn't a massive fan of the 14'' fuch wheels so made a decision to run some 15'' steel wheels for the summer whilst I decide which wheels I want. I'm quite happy with the look, plus it drives loads better too :shock:

This along with Balls'd changing the dreadful horse shoe plates has made a huge difference!!

What was the problem with the horse shoes ?

The ones I had were made really badly. If you check out the Balls'd Facebook page you will see a photo of the before plates and the new ones. They were creating way too much camber ins it was effecting the drive of the van to the point that I dreaded driving it anywhere.

So after fitting the 15's it sat slightly higher at the front than I wanted. 1 click on the top adjuster and all sorted :D
