I think its cheap enough.
Ive got a bonnet and grill lined up for £40 :y
Going to use it for my part time valeting business. Now how to get it back to Dudley ??? ;D

looks ok i hope your good at valeting looking at the state of it, still good practice ;D

I had 500 quid aside to buy a van. its hard work im telling ya. all i could find was p plate escort vans or old vauxhall combos that were nails. Oh yes new bonnet and grill and a day minting it up i think it will look pretty reasonable (i hope) ;D
-
jesus christ just see the price you paid well done good buy for that amount :y i would imagine that will look a nice little van once youve spent a little time on it :y

Good work Dan! Be sure to post up some before and after pics, so we can see just how good you are!! :y

Got an '02 Caddy SDI - best van we've ever had Dan! :y
There's a pair of rear doors going begging here too ............... ;D

Fairly sure Ive got one of those Toni-bell Ice Cream Sirens knocking about in the garage, if it helps your new business venture Dan.

Funny you should say that as the door handle is broken on the rear door but can be opened.
Thats good to hear byron. This is a 51 plate so im hoping its going to serve me well at least till MOT time. What sort of MPG do you get on a run, lets say half laden?

Generally around 53 mpg and I have a 60+ mile daily commute Dan.
Sits happily at 70mph all day, though it's actually happiest at around the 80 mark! :y
Can't help with the door handle though - sorry! :'(

Ive secured a 3 day a week contract at a garage 35 miles away so very similar to you mate. If i can get 50mpg ill be very happy.

Well i got back no problem from doncaster, on £17 of diesel too as it was all the money i had left ;D. not bad for a 120 mile journey.
Van was what i expected. No worse but no better. Only bonuses were the tyres clutch and gearbox are good and he had all the invoices for the work done.
Started a few jobs when i got back. Fixed the rear door handle so it now opens and sanded off the bits of rust just coming through on the arches, Kurust treated, sanded again and primed ready for paint tomorrow. Levels all ok but due an oil and filter as it hasnt been done for 14k.
Just needs a very good valet which i will do monday.
Will get some pics up tomorrow :y
-
Good job pal :y
-
Looks good Dan, bargain too :y

Well after 400 miles the clutch has started to slip. Drove back from Stoke today and by the time I got back could barely do 40 without it slipping. Thought cable may have been sticking but its fine. Going to limp it to Pete to have a new clutch and thrust barring fitted :'(
