DodgyBastard Posted April 29, 2017 Author Share Posted April 29, 2017 DSC_0331 by srblythe, on Flickr Just got in after having to dismantle the centre console in order to remove the stupid bloody keypad immobiliser. It started beeping at me just as I was heading home so thought it was best to unplug it in case it stopped working altogether.

Supernaut Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 I think I have a couple of sets of those centre caps from both c15 vans, I'll look a set out for you. 'ow much for a set, then? Also, how do they fit? Do they just clip on, or are they held on with one (or more) of the wheel bolts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lacquer Peel Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Can you really? That pic is the under the front of the car.Fail. I guess the rear end doesn't even need an anti roll bar?Looking at the pic again the steering rack is obvious.

DodgyBastard Posted April 30, 2017 Author Share Posted April 30, 2017 Picked up a replacement cross-member yesterday for £20 New Cross-member by srblythe, on Flickr I'm considering stripping the paint then reinforcing it by welding some gussets onto it to beef it up a bit. It'll need the chassis legs welded and various other bits and pieces. Eddie Honda 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyBastard Posted April 30, 2017 Author Share Posted April 30, 2017 DSC_0221 by srblythe, on Flickr C15 is provisionally sold now too. I'll be sad to see it go but I don't really need a van at the moment when I have the Ford Ranger to use. I got some good use out of the c15 but it was too small to use as a camper. I'm hoping that I can buy a medium sized van to convert in the near future. oldcars 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supernaut Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Build a camper conversion body for the Ranger? (I'm only being a tiny, teeny bit marginally serious there). Also, surely you would need something for postage for the centre caps? Don't know when I'll next be in Fife. Barry Cade 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Cade Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 I thought about that too- saw one online somewhere where a demountable body was built from plywood- looked the biz and had all that a camper should. Just copy this, some white gloss, wood,a saw an old caravan and yer off on yer hols. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Northstar-Demountable-Campers-/282041196380?hash=item41aaf71f5c:g:gQIAAOSwtUtXA52Y CreepingJesus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite, just trying to downsize the collection. I've had too many distractions lately and want to concentrate on getting my 305 estate roadworthy. Soon I will have two cars on the road, the Ranger and the Lada and Mrs Foad will have the 190e and the zx. Then I'll have the 360, 305 and Alto to get roadworthy. The other 305 estate will probably be going too. oldcars 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyBastard Posted May 5, 2017 Author Share Posted May 5, 2017 Had a mildly productive couple of days, Mrs foad got some metal shelving from her work so we had a bit of a tidy up.
