Hows things down at the Barn sugar?
Stalled lol.
We've come to the conclusion Hayley isnt going to be able to manage a manual choke, and the old girl is NOT liking the cold weather at the moment. SO im either in the market for an SPi/MPi nova, or i need to transplant a 1.2 spi into the blue one!
The volvo is on ebay whilst I collect parts to get our merc Vito road legal.
The track car is fine bar it needs new tyres and i badly want a diff before the new season!
Lee. We got a low mileage (nay 50k) SPi 1200 here. Free I expect.
As a doner for the engine I take it, or whats the body on it like?Quote:

Some of you have had the pleasure of meeting my pikey Vito. Some more of you will have the pleasure at Billing, where I shall once again, lower the tone of the entire show with its basically discraceful appearance lol

I Had a wee play with it, as you can see, removing some of the rust and oxiding over it. Unfortunately Ive left it too long before paint so a lot of it is coming back, so the first job in the next week or so will be to redo most of it.
So far, the tailgate. the drivers door, drivers wing and the grill panel have been replaced (obviously AFTER this pic was taken lol)
I also won these babies on ebay just a few seconds ago!
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=250456583816
It still needs a rear bumper and a drives side arch liner.
Plans will be a full respray bar the roof once i get a compressor, some 40mm lowering springs, some mudflaps, a towbar, a decent stereo install, probably some cabin seats to make it more comfy to sleep in, and a new roof rack :)
Mechanically its fapping solid, and its also the 112 so it goes like a clipped bloody cat lol
Updates as and when I get time now I have work again :)
Good to hear things are looking up for you mate :)
Nothing can rust like a Merc commercial!
Shame the door bottoms don't go like the Transits and leave the weather strip hanging off lol.
Your Vito looks hard as nails mate! Get your mobile number up the side for added gyponess. lol
Be good to see it cleaned up. :)
Tell me about it. My clients Sprinters bonnet has suddenly rotted half away so fast it actually made him have a double take at it when he saw it lolQuote:

When you get to billing, if you dont get out wearing some kind of high vis... your going home lol
It's all down to the fact assholes drive and abuse them! lol lol
LOL!
Oh how you will all be laughing on the other side of your faces when I turn this van from PIKEY to CHAV lol
Win.Quote:

For the nova's on PNG's stand at Billing i was going to see if the guy i know who does graphics could do this as a sticker like the URL one.
Once Driven Forever Smitten-PNGclub.com
but it was just an idea, could get them done for the rest of the year/next season?
Scott

No progress as such as Ive been away, but I managed to jump on Ebay and order the following.
A Towbar
A set of 50/35 lowering springs
A set of front brakes (Ring has completely killed them lol)
A rear spoiler
A front splitter
A set of Recaro's (collecting tomorrow)
A new front headlight as one has a bullet hole.
All thats left on the shopping list is some paint ready for Bank Hol weekend when it will be going up to Dans where we will blitz it. I just need to get some paint on the sundries now, such as the trims, the wheels and the badges before then.
On a Side note, I now have all the bits I need to start on the Loonaque, namely a Mk2 saloon, a braked towing hitch and some random bits of steel :) So ill be starting on that soon too. Saloon is still at Craigs so dont have any pics yet.
Hopefully some pics of progress tomorrow as I have to drive to Germany AGAIN next week, and intend to at least have the drivers seat changed as the current one is a proper bum number :) Ill at least have the tow bar on anyway!
Should look
P
I
M
P
when its done :cool:
Pikey Van to Chav Van :)
What colour are you painting it?
lol Lee you bitch slapped me for "pimping" the passat!
Is there a reason for this modding the Vito, or just for the hell of it?
And whats this Nova Saloon? didn't know you had an nova again??
Scott
lee, you do know you can get bodykits aswell ;) lol
lol chavin up the Vito sounds funny. big and bright colour as baxter said kits lol
then tear up the local maccy D's and sell food out of the loonaQ lol
I do, but this is pimping on a budget lol And its staying blue for ease.Quote:

.. And here is the result of some epic grindage and bodgery lol

I need a V class single seat box now so I can bin the bench seats and mount the other one.
Then I started prepping the wheels for paint. Some pics before I started.

I had to drill the stud holes out to 15mm to take the vans larger whell nuts. Need to find some longer ones as well as the standards dont even make it through the wheel lol
