I think they came with big holes in the seats and floor to allow for discharge of faeces when caught by a 5 mph sidewind???

Did you agree on Tefal?
 

No name yet. It is currently adorned with the name Gracie but I think that might have to change

What about John Paul II or Benedict XVI.

If you can put it together as fast as you pulled it in bits, I'll pay for an Autoshite sticker,

And the MOT.

That certainly won't be happening :-)

its got to be well handy as a borrow for the East lancs lads if any of us have a grandfather clock or a wind turbine to collect ?

I will imagine some holy names might be used when it comes to the welding!

You've got me wanting an old shonky campervan now... damn it.

Yes, put me in line for this one.

Preferably at the back of the queue.

Maybe the back will also be the front though?

Fantastic.  Utter win machine.

Also, the name - Special Stimson. Am I the only one who thinks of this...

I think it is a queue of one at the moment!

I was scrolling around and found in the depths of Autoshite history (2008) a kitten kamper or is it a fox, they don't come much more shite than that... hopefully

Can't be worse than the last one I bought.

CF with water swilling about over the cab roof inside the fibreglass.

Tactically drill some holes, then you get a free windscreen wash every time you brake.

Cracked on with making a bit less mingy today

Got the Vax out and gave interior a good wash.

Now they have dried they still have stains but didn't want to be too rough on the old upholstery

Stuck some gravel In water tank and gave it another swirl round then flush

The little grey things have gone

A downside of this design is that it can never be empty - it doesn't have a sump and the plastic washer makes the drain slightly higher than the rest meaning it will always retain some water.

Not massively sold on keeping it. Half tempted to swap in a portable water tank with inlet. It will free up under bed storage, you can ensure it is empty and as long as it has a feed to the sink it should work.

Jet wash time ... It took most of the black paint off the bumpers which is is good

Then onto the main body

The top roof light has got a small hole in it which has been repaired and now needs fixing again

It managed to kill my karcher, as water started pissing out the front.


Thursday morning it should be going on the ramp so we can see the worst of the horrors and see if it can be saved.

That's a bit over kill. Using a ramp to fix a jet wash,

I tried mouth to hose resuscitation but just ended up with a soapy tongue.

Now the fun game of "how many litres of water have found their way inside while washing?"

Most of it will have run straight out of the ahem, 'ventilation' holes in the floor

Holes in the floor are the safety release in case of carbon monoxide build up, it has to be in the MOT manual somewhere

So basically you gave a Karcher a blow job ?

The answer is,.. drum roll...... None!

I am just taking the van over to have a look at much welding is needed.

Go round a corner...... Ping......hmmm that didn't sound normal

Self lowering van!

Luckily it was at the top of drivers side and it has reseated. Will add that to the shopping list.

Today gets even better.

We got the van on the ramp to see how many plates would be needed to sort the rusty bits.

The answer is a a whole new van!

It is a bit of a horror show really. The van has been undersealed which has held the rust in. Bear in mind that is just the showing rust ... Once the underseal is removed I can imagine it will be much much worse.


Its a shame as I was hoping it was a gamble that would come off.

Going to stick it on eBay at 99p no reserve and see if I can get some money back.


If anyone fancied a welding challenge then drop me a line!

Like for the Karcher comment not for the broken spring, are you sure you didn't drive over the broken spring ?

Could you swap the camper bit onto something else, maybe a Berlingo or something ?

Looking at the back of this makes my head hurt..
