Here we go, a few of the van through the year and the trailer which is almost finished, just need the interior fitting and signwriting up. I had to do the spray job myself this time instead of a proper job due to time and money. But after IMM i'll look into getting a proper paint job:

Well Toria has now been back on the road and working hard for just over 2 years now and she's been doing great.
Promoting the business, getting us and the trade stalls to shows up and down the country and generally turning heads and putting smiles on faces everywhere we go.
Mechanically she's not missed a beat, the steering rack had to be changed a few months back but it was the original so understandable.
The Trailer is now finished and has been a huge help as, let's be honest, the van hasn't got much space when moving an entire business around.
I thought I's share a few pics over the time of her adventures now that she's worn in a working hard:

loving that matching clubman. 

 

I'd like a clubman to match my van as a daily driver one day.

Yeah the Clubman is a great daily and they look an item together, I'd love to give it white steelies to make them look an even closer match but I can't find any big enough to go over the Cooper S brakes  >_<

For now this is her done. Eventually I want to take the loadspace out and fit her out properly. The current setup was a bit rushed so it would be nice to get it looking the part in there too, but then again she's a working vehicle so sometimes I'm glad it's not anything special in there as it gets knocked about. We'll see.
Next year a bigger engine will be going in thanks to Karl at King Kustom Speedshop. We've been discussing 1275's, I don't want anything to powerful just enough to pull the weight of us, the trade stand stuff and the full trailer without slowing to 15 on a slight hill haha!

Tori I'll bare you in mind but you may be waiting a while, she's not leavingme for a while  :lol:
