Heres the start of my, hopefully happy, relationship, with my 1972/3 van, I bought this 1 month ago, this is how I got it, I gutted the inside, then went to see the helpful guys at Dead Dubs at langley mill, ordered some new interior, heres how it started out, then Ill post some pics before the new inside, then when its finished, Feals like Ill never get to sleep in it!!!! :p :
Its had alot of engine work, twin 34s, new flamethrower II coil, electronic flamethrower II distributor, leads, ceramic mondo on the back, all new tinware etc etc, new inside, including units, appliances, bed, all door panels etc, new seals on windows and doors, new 1/4 lights and frames, limo tints, opening side windows and new front window lip because the old one fell out when they took out the windscreen for the top end respray lol, cost me a bomb, so hopefully when I get you the next set of pictures, it will look a bit cooler :p
thats about all im waiting for before i get it back, they fitting the bed so i can finish the rest of the inside, just dropped my foam off at the upholsterers and my curtains have arrived, and heres a plug for vwcurtains, they look very very kewl!!!
Dont know Coxy? All I know is its a crossover old front new back! Heres a few new pictures taken today AND I went to RTTH in it, good day out!! Nearly finished now, just needs some Back to Black!!! : tell me what u think :
I had the dash and coloumns sprayed same as outside . also all new door cards and rear panels all upholstered in blue faux leather, yes I need to Black to Black everything!!!
My new Flamethrower coil and dist and twins carbs, needs a good clean though!!
Close up of the new lip inner and outer I had and All new Rubbers and frames for the doors, looks loads better than the old mouldy cracked ones I had!!
The start of the inside, I have loads to do!!
Kewl mondo ceramic!
Tried to get a piccy of the sunvisor, all in all Its looks alot better!!
Just spent a fortune on filler and stuff to get mine sorted, its great coming on here, gets you all fired up to carry on.
Not that the lure of crappy bank holiday telly is much of an alternative
Feeling a little light headed from all that isopon gubbings.

If you're not part of the solution theres good money to be made prolonging the problem
After a nightmarish winter, using the van a fair bit freezing my tits off I have finally got the interior virtually finished, Ive got new upholstered seats, stereo, speakers , new back bumper, all jacking points been done, undersealed and plumbed up, along with a roof mounted 15 LCD dvd comby for the kids, plus ive just had the whole lot RESPRAYED as the bloody white I had done, was by a cowboy, and it started pealing after 2 months, He made a right bodge of it, so I got a top knacker sprayer doing it.
I get it back again on wednesday, so when I do, get ready for my final pictures, I cant F'ing wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
