Looking mighty fine! No need to worry about your non lady hands then?!!

 

[Matt-T68]

No mate. Didn't realise how big those flaps were!!

I have refurbed an old Maglite torch (drilled out the old corroded batteries and converted it to LED) and mounted it at the back of the van.

I've heard tell you need that in the front door pocket, for 'emergencies' !!

I have a smaller Maglite going in the cab, I’m just waiting for the mounts.

I've just noticed the off road only sticker, is that something to be worried about.

I have an extendable wheel brace! Not so good in the dark though...

Just make sure you check it’s pushed home properly. Unless there’s a thief nearby, I must have not checked mine properly as it’s the second time I’ve found it missing.
Might go for a pattern part this time because, at half the price of OEM, it won’t sting if and when I replace it again!

Sorry officer. They were in there already. I'll be sure to change them asap

Had the last bits if black plastic painted this week. All handles, parking sensors and the panels that are under the rear lights. Looks so much better!

How it should be!

How it should be!

I loved it being startline, but couldn't believe how much just painting those little bits has transformed the look of the van!

We just need a group scheme for decals on an Ascot Grey now! I think we must all be boring! I haven't seen anything that works for me... yet!

So after picking up some screws in my front 2 tyres (oh I was sooooooo happy) I was panicking due to having the RIB fitted tomorrow. Frantic phoning round. No joy until Wednesday. Decided to trawl Fleabay. Saw a set of used and gave the guy a message. He called me back and offered me a brand new set (well 100 milers) of Devonports with Continental tyres. Quick run up to West Brom and done the deal. From a weekend that was going tits up to a happy soon to be camper. He even bought my original wheels so a decent rebate too.

Chucked some part worns on the front to get through the next month before I can buy some new tyres.

Pop along to your local plumbers merchants. Plastic pipe wall clips work a treat and cost peanuts. Black white or grey.

I'll certainly buy one as a spare when you find your 'forever' wheels!
