Scampi's new van thread!

[Scampi]

Anyways small update!

Today I have been repairing the bumpers ready for primer tomorrow!

Trying to get rid of them nasty rusty bits!

Tomorrow I will mostly be grinding wheel arches out, finishing the bumpers and starting the re-wire! :lol:

 

[Grazy]

Thought the re-wire was done son :?

 

[Scampi]

No mate. That will be the last thing before the MOT! :wink:

 

[Grazy]

when is Mot due

 

[Scampi]

It's out already :shock:

 

[Grazy]

Oooops :lol:

 

[Scampi]

Yes I know, been really slack with issues at home but time to get on track I think! :wink:

 

[Scampi]

Right guys

Bit of an update anyway for you all as not done one for a while.

Next step is working towards funding and building a 1776 lump for the girl. :lol:

Still working on the spec and cant decide whether to go with webers or dellortos?

Anyway, will probbaly run the one I have till Vanfest and change straight after that!

Also had loads of people telling me how good a van looks without bumpers as i'e been painting mine. :shock:

Just need to paint mine when I can get down the bodyshop next week. Been primed and flatted already.

Was going to rebuild carbs and stuff in the meantime but TBH I would rather save my money if i'm having a new motor in 3 months :lol:




Sorry, i'll shut up now :shock:

Thanks for the update dude - I'd be too worried about my bodywork to leave the bumpers off for any length of time!

Get some pics up when they're back on - it was looking sweet last time!

 

[Scampi]

Ordered some parts today for her as in rebild kits and filters for the carb.

Also ordered a Scat brether kit for her, anybody any experiences of these previously?

 

[Scampi]

Right guys bit of an update as not done one for a while!

Thinking of stripping my van out and just having it as a van and taking the camper conversion out!

Any ideas how much I could get for it if I sold it?

 

[Scampi]

Anyway dudes, yesterday the bumpers were finished and put back on!

Been tidying up the interior a little and trying to work out how i'm going to fit my sound system also. Decided that i will probably fit the stereo between the 2 fronts seats :wink:

Trying to work on the van today but rain is on and off!!!

Like saying earlier thinking of getting rid of the camping interior, any ideas how much it would sell for?

 

[Airtime]

It really looks awesome, Scampi! 8) Leave the bumpers on!

I don't hope you're planning to put the vacuum cleaner somewhere on the engine. You don't gain any power with it, you know... :? :wink:

 

[easy]

Hey scampi, you haver the bluebird stainless exhaust on that dont you?! :wink:

 

[MMMC]

great job on them bumpers scampi - your van really looks cool. Mean, clean and green.

 

[Scampi]

Yeah I do, had the one from JK for a bit but changed over!

Not a real big fan tbh dude

 

[Justin & Muttley]

I have to say - it's not the most impressive trailer I've ever seen! :lol:

Get some pics of the interior up...

 

[Scampi]
