My van went in for paint over the winter and came out luvly :mrgreen: . Only thing is when the paint job is nice you (i) dont want to stick old, pitted, dented, warn parts back on. Unfortunately money has been tight and putting it back together has been a very slow process. As it has windows and door handles missing etc and i live in a shite area (needs more than a JK cover to protect it) ive been given permission by my boss to keep it in an empty building at work. Which was fine till yesterday when the rates man from the council payed a visit.
Not paying rates on an empty building = not alowed to store my bus there = instant eviction from afore mentioned building.
Luckily enough i was sort of getting vibes that my van shouldnt have been there for a while and coincidently was speeking to a business owner on the trading estate about possibly renting a space in his workshop for my van.
Only problem is he's not going to want me in and out of there like a fiddlers elbow every few days doing stuff to it .
So its sort of going into storage for a year or so. It will be safe and dry but untouched for possibly a year dependant on finances .
Im gutted!!!
On the plus side the engines comming out on friday night as its had a leak thats been getting on me tits for ages so il be getting on with that.
Also il be spending this time to source all the parts i need to finnish the job properly.
Take a look at my thread in the gallery.
I think you will agree, so near but yet so far .
