What a great little thing. Well bought. It's such a cheery thing that even looking at it from a long way gives my a worm feeling in my emotions hutch. It could only be improved by being yellow really. Shirley Knott, Aston Martin and RoadworkUK 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoadworkUK Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 See, I like having to tap the fuel gauge like that. Makes it easy to pretend that I'm in a battle-scarred B24 attempting to reach Blighty on a wing and a prayer, rather than in an underpowered 306 about to attempt a hill on the A30 near Exeter. timolloyd, catsinthewelder, juular and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Bell Posted September 16, 2020 Author Share Posted September 16, 2020 I never like seeing these middle nuts exposed (or any nuts exposed if I'm not expecting it) and I remembered I had some PSA centres lying around somewhere. Umm. They look like they've been spermed upon by the goblin of uncertain times. I gave them a good clean with off brand Fairy Liquid and elbow grease but that made 0% improvement. So I went to Wickes for some Plastikote. Wickes, as you can see, was closed. So I went to Halfords. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Bell Posted September 16, 2020 Author Share Posted September 16, 2020 Wrong marque but who the fuckknuckle cares. It's PSA which is close enough.

Jim Bell Posted September 16, 2020 Author Share Posted September 16, 2020 Next up for small improvement is the interior. As @davehedgehog31 advised, the stitching had EXPLOD on the rear seat base. So I did exactly what anybody's Nana would do and I threw a Tartan blanket over it. I'd say that counts as about a 25% completed camper conversion. privatewire, Craig the Princess, Shirley Knott and 10 others 8 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're perfect the way they are. I think they were van spec tyres that P.O. sourced cheaply. They ride lovely and grip well so I'm in no hurry to change them. flat4alfa and Arthur Foxhake 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stanky Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Those beams are reputedly mega bad structurally as in a fire they warp and pull the structure down. We had the exact same (but painted blue) in my 6th form common room in the early 00's and I clearly recall my late father commenting on them. Top bombing though, the StInca looks a beaut.
