So my time with project Crimson Ghost is up. While it was still low mileage I wanted rid of it as knew the next MOT it would want work. My thoughts were that it was ideal as a donor for a T25 or T4 conversion as it has the AAZ in it. A guy has bout it to use as a cheap daily so it will continue live. Anyways picked this up from a mate. I don’t like the rust paint but I have plans for it.  |

Great van. I tried to kill one for years.

Whether you believe you can, or you cannot, you're probably right.

Great van. I tried to kill one for years. Cheers, it’s hi mileage and crusty but I’m really liking it so far. Just need to sort the front ride height as it’s a little high |

One of the first jobs was to get rid of the awful ‘chav rat look’ stickers  Then I had a go with a DA at that awful rust paint. The finish on this stuff is awful, been rollered on but badly. Paint is even on the rubbers etc. |

Rusty plastic door handles are a nice touch though, eh? It is a great touch I thought and doesn’t look at all like someone has spilt creosote on it 🙄 |

That is gonna take a whole lot of sanding back! Otherwise looks okay.

Weirdly, I like this. My new commute is crying out for a super cheap, super frugal snotter... Then get all sorts of rat on it.
