Looking pretty sad now but just about ready for paint.
Booked in at end of April, so no l2b for Vini this year.

The search for a colour continues!

long story, but it's still (slowly) being painted. I guess that's what happens when it's being done at mates rates.

 

will post up picks when it's back.

Great wee van. Look forward to seeing it painted. What colour did you decide on (or have I missed that bit?)

I liked the original colour - think it really suited the shape - just needed polished rims on the wheels to lift it. Yellow tints/bulbs to the headlamps look good with that colour too.
keep the pictures coming.

Yes It is. In so much as it has an MOT.

Just waiting for better weather to finish it off.

Did it all go back together ok?

Will pop down to the H Cafe when it's a bit warmer and lighter in the evenings, maybe see you there with Geoff?
