Hi TZoo. Welcome to the forum. The vans are old, slow and thirsty but you can't help having a soft spot for them! Do you have any photo's of yours? Always good to see what other peoples vans are like. ------------- 1989 LT35 - 2.4 Lpg/Petrol - Converted To Camper |

Welcome TZoo  Some nice work there. I particularly like the ?Mario? 16dpi ?When you say 'north', does that mean north, where i am, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, or do you actually mean, nearly north like Manc-chester (sic Madra)? We need pictures, 'tis true. Just nosey really. edit: According to the Register, nearly north.

I missed 'The name of ...' and read the 'The van is taffy planning to clean her up and pimp it a bit' and I thought he meant tatty, predictive texting/ wrong keystroke and so on.  ------------- 1989 LT28 2.4D Saviour of 6Music, well one of them.

I've moved it twice! The first time was to the underside of the floor, just below the sliding door because I wanted the room on the back for my mountain bike. Then I had Lpg fitted and the only practical place for the tank was where I had put the spare wheel. I then moved it back to the nearside rear door but mounted it higher via a frame which goes around the window. Again that was to give me room for my bike. With hindsight I should have put it back in it's original place and had the bike higher up the door. My bike is a lot lighter than the wheel so it's better having the extra weight of the wheel lower down the door.
Why do you need a brace? ------------- 1989 LT35 - 2.4 Lpg/Petrol - Converted To Camper |
