started out like this the day i bought her i still have that bumper its the show one

then i did this

then got new wheels an lowered her


then the carb went i fixed that an was delighted then this happened


so out she came



then picked this up and in it went haha by chance i woke up one mornin to find a dude deliverin a digger ,mam happened to be diggin the garden so i borrowed it for a bit






i then wanted to try the coke can challenge an it didnt impress me she aint low enough

shes an immaculate shell this lil hole an the battery tray are the only rusty bits the shell is solid which is rare even rarer to find a good van



and finally my favourite pic of it

got many mre plans for it???

love the arches on the rear little flared square arches

Old skool indeed, classics now! Looks smart and plans sound good, keep in clean and close to standard
