didn’t know where to post so here will do….

I am trying to make the perfect track van on a budget.

I was fortunate to be given this bus a while back:

Added some decals:

Then some “bling” tints LOL:

(don’t try that youself lol, (especially at night when you never done it before! LOL)

Then the Head Gasget failed….


Grrr

I replaced it with this for £750:


It was an ex builders van and considering that was in pretty good shape on the outside. The interior however was anotherthing, full of cement dust to the poilnt that when you sat in the drivers seat it was like sitting on a powder puff and dust filled the cab.

Clever lil me thought jet washing the inside would be a good idea….

…. It wasn’t lol, ended up with it still bein full of dust, but now had wet electrics and the cab was now completely splatered with wet cement going hard! []

I have now got it a bit better after time with a towel and leaving the cement to go hard in the sunlight.

Anyway, have done some robbing off the bus to help make the van better for sleeping in the back of and now the bus looks like this:

And the van looks like this:

I am glad it all fitted, but will work on the rust next, then maybe pay someone to clean the inside out properly so I can sort some storage space and camping bits. I know I can take 3 bikes in a swb tranny but 2 is really all I expect to so will try fit cupboards and maybe a fridge, deffo want some power and have fitted some basics but want a socket on the outside to attach a lead to as well as sorting a sacrificial battery to power things when a power point isn’t available.
