mat666b Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Been after a van for a while now. Seen this one on eBay and won it for £272. Was originally told it had problems with the fuel pump but after a bit if tinkering I got it running a lot better than when I picked it up. Needs a bit ( a lot ) of bodywork due to rust and a big dent in passenger wing. Picking up a set of 18" alloys ( which will be fun to fit ). These will be fitted with 215/40 18 tyres. Also picking up a wrc bumper. Future plans are to lower it, fit some side skirts and arches, got a plan for the rear bumper but not gonna spill the beans just yet. http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t86/turbom47hew/b8206a1f.jpg http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t86/turbom47hew/c4f88ac4.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mat666b Posted February 8, 2012 Author Share Posted February 8, 2012 (edited) fitted the wrc front bumper and picked up 18" kei force 10 alloys. took them to work to check wheel balance to find 1 alloys has 2 cracks in it, luckily one of my customers refurbs wheels so that will be welded up http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t86/turbom47hew/e5cdcf56.jpg http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t86/turbom47hew/91453e10.jpg hopefully wheels should be fitted today Edited February 8, 2012 by mat666b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
