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!

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:
