co-op scooby Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Hi mates,its D-Day.With the help of my daughter i am now attempting to show you the pictures of my van.They were taken on Friday,and since then I have redone the interior in a light blue material and it looks so much better than it did.Pictures of this will follow ,if we succeed in doing it right today lol. http://i1272.photobucket.com/albums/y388/scooby_itfc/06aa07d5-108b-41d4-9879-6e0c1ad7c6af_zpsc785773b.jpg http://i1272.photobucket.com/albums/y388/scooby_itfc/593d7fe0-6bfe-4c97-bc70-a2e5de9d119f_zps07fb8db0.jpg http://i1272.photobucket.com/albums/y388/scooby_itfc/SDC10850_zpsb3f7d645.jpg http://i1272.photobucket.com/albums/y388/scooby_itfc/0ad7ac6e-a6e3-40a9-a2cb-650186fe9509_zps7004c9cd.jpg http://i1272.photobucket.com/albums/y388/scooby_itfc/168a46a4-6a6d-4aab-9967-94e13346ad7f_zps727b4eba.jpg http://i1272.photobucket.com/albums/y388/scooby_itfc/SDC10845_zpsaf878c56.jpg http://i1272.photobucket.com/albums/y388/scooby_itfc/4ae5da47-0bd6-4022-a389-b695f8e8f687_zpsbeb16762.jpg http://i1272.photobucket.com/albums/y388/scooby_itfc/18324aab-93e8-47e3-9e76-b2644aa3e835_zpse4d262b3.jpg http://i1272.photobucket.com/albums/y388/scooby_itfc/SDC10853_zps4cfb81fc.jpg http://i1272.photobucket.com/albums/y388/scooby_itfc/SDC10851_zps0f683f27.jpg Success,she obviously has her mothers brains,bless her.Take a peek,digest and feed me your ideas.Rear cossie bumper is the only other mod i intend.....unless you know different.PS.Iaint lowering it .im 50 and suffer with my back through age,let alone hard suspension.lol.

Oh no........... ...shawdreamers here.....Ta for the reply Lee.So far it stands me around £650 and a lot of time. I aint gonna spend mega bucks just the odd few quid when something of use comes up for sale.It will never get to the standard of your wheels my friend.Awesome looking motor.Theres not many vans round town so it should hold its own as she is,just tidying up bodywork and keep her squeaky clean.

lee grout Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 If your keeping it then get some spray on the spoiler (looks blue)!!!. Cossie van spoiler looks very good if you were ever gonna change it. Only personal choice but if your not gonna lower it, I'd maybe look at mondeo/fiesta st alloys. 17" multispokes will look good as well as fill the arches a little bit more. Ebay has lots of em...as well as that spoiler I look forward to hopefully seeing it with a rear bumper on, beef it up a bit at the back. Maybe white the mirrors too.....oh and find jacking covers!Nice to see a van for a change, a break from the norm. Keep it up and lets see that interior Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better when you see it on a finished car to get the full appreciation.That was off E Bay for £20 a few months back.I spent ages tryin to find something a little bit different from the normal route to take a van.Still worries me about ground clearance with the front spoiler.Deffo have to stick the fogged one on when it goes for MOT.

Dont think it'll be a problem for clearance tbh. I had massive bumpers years back and it never was a problem going for mot. Do you not like the fogged bumper much then ?

I must be able to knock the aftermarket one out for 30 notes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
