Oh, I'm sure it'll be visiting a petrol station soon!

We all know just how economical* El Grands are to run.

As promised...

FILTH (in both senses of the word)

 

From 10ft.. not too bad, bit JDMYO...

Enhance

Mainly superficial and relatively easily tidied.

 

The other side can't be as bad...

 

Nevermind, onto the back..

 

FUCK IT, round the front..

JESUS H SHITTING CHRIST!

did you not take your guide dog? 

At least it's dry inside:

OH.

clean and tidy at least?

BASTARD

At least the engine bay is tidy and the wiper arm doesn't foul on the bonnet..

 

THATS IT, ahm away back to bed😂

 

On the positive side:

Drives lovely

gearbox ace

engine great

Should come up well with a clean

ELECTRIC CURTAINS!!!1!1!1!

TIP RUNZ (try not to get it put into the scrap metal skip...)

Double centre swivel seats/captains chairs

Was it cheap, at least?

[Rust Collector]

These Japanese vans are awesome. I really regret selling my V6 Granvia, would love a diesel Elgrand or Granvia again. If she drives nicely then you should be on to a winner once she's cleaned up!

There's one like that near us, I think the guy works in a local garage. It's similarly "patinated".

My Jap car is DDYo.

Derby domestic market 🤣

[Datsuncog]

Wow, what a corker!

Very nice. Bit of elbow grease and this looks like it could be a total winnermobile.

This more than makes up for last week's ROVER SADFACE, no?

[Conrad D. Conelrad]

lol

The one near us is an Elgrand Homy.

In a driveway opposite is another unusual one, a black Toyota Alphard.

Took it to it's spiritual home..

 

Cheers to @jaypee for the picture 

[320touring]

Stuff I have learned today...

This thing has OEM overmats throughout.

@Jim Bell would be orgasmic at the sight of them..

[cort16]

An unexpected and delicious purchase.

 

[320touring]

Decided to have a swing at cleaning the front of this today..

To say it is manky is an understatement

The natty OEM overmats have seen a dug or twa..

I reckon a stiff brush then a wetvac should sort that.

Drivers footwell is hoachin.

I decided to focus on stuff I could scrub.

The steering wheel wasn't too bad

But the auto box selector was howfin

The stalks were bowfin too

But came up well with some wipes.

 

I removed all the damp parking tickets from the base of the windscreen and cleaned all the windows

On the outside the OEM nissan wind deflectors are forming gardens, with the door handles not far behind.

 

There were also a couple of odd finds ..

 

Other than that. It's come up well, but I think the big work will be in the soft furnishings - I expect the wet vac will earn it's keep.

 

After meeting @Supernaut off, I got to snap a Rexton pic😁 

 

Later, on the way home I stopped to check on the 320, and the van wouldn't start after. It was completely dead ..

I waggled the battery terminals and it fired right into life. Another thing to fix then..
