Yes the same/similar on a Saxo Door. Sadly. But nothing like ductape or signwriting vinyl. |

First, I always love reading your stories on the c10. I never reply, I am more of a lurker..sorry. I like the berlingo, and this would be my choice to do with it:  Thanks for the reply. I like that sort of thing but of course thos is not a camper, maybe an occasional "day van" But if I need a camper then the Grizz Pod has to be called in. No idea if this will legally be able to tow it as I have never weighed it |

Glad you like it. Every time I look at some of the crazy stuff I have done, I hear my mum and dad say in unison "You are bloody mad" and then see the smiles of pride on their face. My dad used to love some of the stuff I get up to, as he could not get his head around me only using "Monkey see, Monkey do" principles in a lot of the stuff I get up to. I just make it up,as I go along, of course these forums do help a whole lot, and getting input from everyone makes a lot of stuff less painful as you get t right first time around. |

Two weeks into owning this little car it still makes me grin. I find myself looking for a good reason to use it and just go look at it. Bought some upholstery fabric cleaner at Poundshop last weekend, just what could go wrong, it can only get better, or not at all. So one of the dry day jobs lined up, is to clean the upholstery, the rear seats are not perfect. If it gets better, bargain, if not, nothing lost but a pound and some time. My window tint and rear silencer landed too this week. Looking forward to getting onto the side glass once we have a dry day as I want to remove them all at the same time and do the job in the kitchen. Fitting the rear silence should be a quick job, famous last words?? Couple of hangers and one clamp to join it to the system. I am very tempted to see just how noisy it is without the rear box.  I am pleased with what I can see of the quality of this part, it was under £40.00 including delivery and fitting hardware. A local figment shop quoted me a best price of £140.00 So does that mean that I have an extra £80.00 to spend now? NSRA Swapmeet at Arena Essex on Sunday......... bargains to be had?? |

Plenty of room in the back of the Berlingo for parts for an American truck there is a good reason to use it.

Grizz, how about black button headed Allen bolts in the holes in the doors? Sikaflex them in to seal the holes up at the same time?

You had me laughing again George. I guess you have done this too Plenty of room in the back of the Berlingo for parts for an American truck there is a good reason to use it. And any other stuff that needs moving around. Grizz, how about black button headed Allen bolts in the holes in the doors? Sikaflex them in to seal the holes up at the same time? It will take a while to get there, but it has to be very smooth, rather than bumps n lumps. Which is why even the rubbing strips need to go. |

Looking good! I remember for another site (that I'm having login issues with) that you were thinking of livery. I gave it a quick go this evening with a freebie app on my iPad...  The new KTM Moto GP livery inspired me! |

grizz's shooting brake, youll need a barber jacket and some le chameau wellies Having seen my place and my way of life, you should know that a Primark hoody and flip flops are more my style, with charity shop Bermuda shorts. But your picture makes sense. Or a back seat that rises through the roof on hydraulics for sitting in whilst potting pheasants with a Purdy, like a Maharajah. That is funny, but very doable.... Think Popemobile and cheap recycled hospital bed hydraulics or electric rams. Wait... . Let's call JOHNNYBRAVO !! The Partner or Berlingo never tickled me much... Till Grizz lifted out its Prozakian properties! In South Africa we have annual Wild Flower Tours in early Spring, private or by touring companies, to the Namaqualand region. The full length sunroof will definitely facilitate photography! Perhaps wildlife too. Though it might instead facilitate an easy breakfast for a lion! Would the Berlingo accommodate a bigger engine, say from the C4, with which I believe it shares a floor pan? Hopefully without requiring outsourced R&D,or at least without turning into a years long project! A quick Google search did not return anything. Amazing the variation of simple campers designed for these vehicles. Interesting that the vehicle is also available as a seven seater. I have always liked function over form, even my current choice of company car vs what I qualify for. Leather and fixed seats just don't carry timber, car parts and boxes as well as a fold down rear seat. I like this project a lot, I'm a fan of quirky cars even though my cars are far from it. You're local to me too so I will look out for it. I look forward to seeing where this goes. Kettle is always on. And yes, I am certainly enjoying it, even two weeks in. why stop a 6 cylinders? Why not get serious and make that real. I really should get my med levels looked at If any sort of conversion was to take place something like. campfiremag.co.uk/mini-campervan/Might be a much more useable modification Ttfn Glenn Thanks Glenn, you are not helping here, the money is meant to stay in my wallet, not spent on a banger. Rian, do you plan a classy roof carrier to carry full boards? Maybe something from or similar to a W124 TE's or the Ford Sierra station wagon? No plans for any roof racks, though there was one specific to Berlingo on my Facebook for sale page for £30.00 I rarely would actually use one. Rather need to find a tow bar and fit that. I do own a trailer, that is stashed Ina garage 30 miles from home. Those there discs look much better! Echoing the above comments, this thread is very much a calming one! Thank you mate, that's a great compliment. The discs are a lot better, and I suspect work a bit better too. This van has never been ragged to death, so maybe the discs were just like that from lack of real use. 'Oles I'm afraid chap. Clips and 'oles.  I did say Bugggerr when I saw that, so it is ductape over holes then....... 'Rattle can' them body colour ... Different plan, they need to be gone. Not a bad shout. Degrease, plastic prime and body colour. Slightly less visible that way without costing the earth. Watch this space. or even black/dark grey trim paint, seen some very good results on a renault truck my landlord has. I considered body colour, but they need to go. However...... I actually do like strips as they are very functional. This 😂😂😂 |

Today was the NSRA Swapmeet. Went over in the Prozac-Mobile retrorides.proboards.com/thread/195715/grizz-prozac-soul-citroen-berlingo as you never know what you may find. Met up with CraigRK, mate Martin and saw a load of other guys including Slammedcustom from GarageJournal.com Awesome day. First the one that got away. £20.00 would buy this little tool. I decided to let it ride on chance and go look once we had seen everything, if it was still there, then I would pay the £20.00 asked. My mistake.as it was of course gone, Kev From Wales had seen it go an hour before I returned.   Bought these bits, some random, some not. Set of auxiliary gauges from Dez on here for the truck, and later a chrome carrier for them. The cast iron is planned for a Russian style Cross. Number plate is one I do not have at all. Some decent screw drivers and a super sharp scraper type tool I am sure someone will know exactly what it is. Also a Corvette badge that cost me all of 10p   So all in a good day, the Berlingo also behaved as well as expected. When I got home it was raining, so no chance to fit the silencer or any of the tinting. Ended up with a glass of wine and some recoded Sky History. |
