heres my van when i got it in 2002, my mate bought it, had it a year and gave up with it deciding it need to much work, so he sold the engine and some spares to his mate(i then bought the engine back, ran it abotu for a while knackered it up, rebuilt it and thats whats now running my bug about now) and said he was either going to scrap it or i could have it for nowt, it was a rolling 72bay, of course i`ll have it!

for the past 4 year its acted as a good parts storage facility, eventuly in about sept 2004 i bought a second hand 1600 SP engine for it(vega recon at some point 1598cc) when it still wasnt looking very pretty..

idealy i wanted to get it MOT`d and looking like that :)

then last year, in may i decided to shelf my 1302s project which used to be my daily and start the van, ready for bugjam 06, a tall order to get a basic van on the road with 2 front seats all done in 3 months, i was very close, sadley it didnt happen.

so May time arrives and i managed to buy a tilter off a mate whoe no longer needed it meaning i could do this with my van..

kinda funny to see it on its side!
