Loonaque Mincing

Its called Hyacinth blue :( Very camp name, but its the standard blue you see the MK1 vito's in (although the paint appears to fade worse than flame red, so my van is a lot deeper than the other ones you see, just look at my roof lol)

Anyhoo, was bored today as I didnt have much to do for once so I went for a mince.

First thing was to clean up, prep and paint the slabs Dan donated to the build.

Then I set about fitting all the windows back in, and I cut a sheet of plastic for the front window. All we could get was polystyrene sheet which is for interior use only, so it'll be interesting to see what happens to it lol May need replacing with some polycarb next season, but this'll do for now.

There's still a bit of painting to do int he boot, but I really couldnt be assed today so I decided to attach some decals instead.

Tomorrow I intend to get some rubber on the slabs and have a look at lowering the suspension. Unfortunately all I have are 80mm springs from my old Breeze SR, so Im not sure if Ill get any travel on standard shocks, but there's bog all weight in it, so theres only one way to find out lol

So gutted i cant make it over this weekend Lee :(

On the plus side tho, its looks fantastic with the colour coded bumpers on & a screen in the hatch!! Appears the plan with the decals has worked a treat then :D

Yeah, they fit along the side beautifully.

Not got the rear bumper on yet as I had to bodge that hole in the rear wing lol. ill pop that on tomorrow.

Yeah, its quiet in there on my own :(

if you want ill swap some 60mm springs for the 80mm? and some cash?

its looking great by the way!

If it's indoor use only lee it won't be UV resistant so will yellow/fade over time, go brittle and fall apart, should last a year being out for a couple weekends fine though :)
