For sale,my little sooty van (as seen in readers rides).It amazing what these little vans can do,and hold!! Done loads to it,fitted honda prelude seats,new headgaskets,oils,filters,etc,fitted stereo,and speakers. 4 good carmac tyres,ply lined on floor,and new number plates. Returns around 40 mpg (suzuki engined),and i think ive only open the fuel flap about 5 times ,since xmas!!! ;D Tax till end of next month,m.o.t'd till september,sometime,2009. Runs,drives,and looks ,spot on.Slight rumble on thrust bearing,and scratches/dents ,here and there,are the only niggly faults,if being honest.. ;D Not looking to part ex,as i have too many cars (like most of us,eh!!) Any question,please feel free to ask ,or pm. I'm after £550 o.n.o or open to offers,and located in south wales.

Chocolate cams!!! ;D Being a motorcycle mecahnic by trade,I'm smitten by all kawasaki's ,having had the usual gpz,zx,and zzr models But all bikes are good,being japanese,its down to personal choice. Nothing wrong with suzuki though,probably part the reason this little bedford has lasted 20 years. It being vauxhall/bedford would have rotted after 2 years!!!

This is my little sooty van,that i drive between driving the montego's!! I bought it completely out of character,after watching that episode of top gear,where richard hammond flipped one!! ;D So,after much cleaning (don't have any before pictures ),and doing the head gasket,oil ,filters,points,fitting different seats,stereo,etc,etc,it now ready for sale. Any thoughts???.......

Hey guys,been meaning to list this old tub up for a while... My brother ,last year,had taken on an old fiesta 1.1 off a mate of mine,and plan to modify it ! Now the car is very solid for nearly 30 years old,and only needed a very small patch of welding (about a 50p size) on the floor plan! So after stripping a rotten xr2,and reading up on the zetec forum,he decided to go down the route of many,with sticking the 2.0 mondeo lump in it! He borrowed a set of 45's to run the engine up on the floor,after stripping and rebuilding it, it ran superb,but had to return the carbs ,as he couldnt afford the £250 the guy wanted for them. Any way to cut a long story short,he done many of a good job,and has done things,as per text book,other things ,well they are not up,my standards ;D It now come to a sad end,as my brother doesnt have much money ,and it needs the 2 most expense parts/jobs to finish it. 1) The carbs,and 2) the paint job. A little tidying ,here and there,and by god ,should this tub fly! Many new parts,uprated,and standard ford,have been fitted.. I think it is for sale,so please do ask questions.....heres the piccy's.......

Cheers all!! Yes,i know the a team van was 2 tone,so to speak.!! As for the red turbo,ive had her 6 years now,and was sat in a neighbours garden,with grass growing through it, but i always wanted a turbo,so i started about to restore it.£150 i originally paid for it ;D 6 years on,and the rest is history............ Ive only had the estate since september,and was an "original" car too,but as you can see by the pictures,since been modified!!

Ah,i chase beemer's all the time!! ;D The countryman may only be 81 bhp diesel,and thats curse word by todays standards,but she goes well!!! Ive p*ssed a few boy racer's off too (possible/probably because I'm a little better driver through the roundabouts!! ) As for the montego turbo,well the only thing i havent passed is a petrol garage!!! ;D Cheers guys!!
