Seeing this thing in the flesh was great :d , the lads have done a cracking job and mucho fun will be had with it. Was great catching up with the lads again as i have been locked away in work for so long now, esp great to see mike as i hadnt seen him for a while, i reckon when he starts eating properly he will be a healthy lad lol lol lol lol ;)
The first coat of paint went on a dream, then decided not to after it had hit the panel lmfao, but luckily with some messing around and a thick second coat it cured many of the early problems
I cant wait to see this thing bumbling along the highway behind the vito, but then again i cant wait to sample the first few burgers cooked on it either :thumb:
lol lol lol was great catching up with you aswell Dan, very long time no see!!
Excellent, having all the insides done would look good!
What colour is it?
Pikey Van Blue lolQuote:

Its a Mercedes Commercial colour, like breeze blue but darker. The inside bits in black are metallic black, contrast's really well onto the blue :cool:Quote:

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!
Ill bear that in mind, cheers pal :)Quote:

Man up and just tell em to feck orf lol
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 :)
Thats what I was expecting, it'll do for this year :)Quote:

Unbelievably, it still has some travel, so should do the trick. With a bit of luck it will tow a little ass down, which means more weight will be transferred over the wheels taking pressure of the hitch end.
Also added bumper stripes and some triangle reflectors
