saved a rabbits life

Is that a MK1 van?  Welcome to the site.  What are your plans?

looks like an ex forestry commision van

I was thinking McAlpine but i could be wrong.  There were faint stencils under the green that said 'small works contracting' who knows, it was found in a farmers field before i bought it off ebay a couple of years ago.

have you got any more pics of whats going on with it??

A few.... but some are secret

Got to fix this piece-




Also, trying to find the og blue-

Ive just moved the golf into my new workshop so should be getting a few bits done.  Its the 3rd workshop in as many years lol!  Fitted a mk2 master cylinder and servo and started the repair to the A pillar.  Still got lots to do and even more parts to find as its just an empty shell.  Got a GTD to go in too.

Sounds interesting. Keep the pics and updates coming.

Found new enthusiasm for this little p.o.s lol.
Fixed the arch as in the pic above and also a piece on the A pillar.  Started on the offside sill which is a lot better than the nearside was, should only need a few little bits replacing.  Guess that's from driving through puddles at the side of the road.
Finally got a dashboard and clocks and some other interior parts.
Just got to stay motivated lol!

Keep the updates and pics flowing! This has bags of potential! I bet everyone reading this has pictured something different for the finished van, I like the green or the blue. But with some retro white graphics advertising the company with some mini lights!

Had fun lying under my car replacing this piece-



Haven't looked at the other side so can't remember how bad it is.

Been doing a bit, made a rotisserie and the car is now on its side.  Finished off the rear chassis on both sides.  Couple of holes in the boot floor, maybe a few more when i take the cracking dead underseal off!  Tank and rear beam should clean up nice.
Started work on some minor parts on the front suspension.

Love to see a good project underway keep up the good work!

Looking good mate, keep the updates coming. 8)

Did a bit of wire brushing the loose stuff off and a quick respray-


Anybody know if i need to re-fit this?

I think that's the fuel tank breather that sits in the rear driver's side arch. If they get blocked then the fuel tank pressurises after a few miles of driving and you get fuel starvation. Whether there is a better way of letting the Fuel tank breath I do not know.

I'm looking for a garage/ workshop in Northants if you can recommend anywhere?

cheers
