Sideburn Hauler

Well, we had high hopes - VW Transporter, Toyota Hiace, Chevy Astro, decommissioned ambulance, oh yes, we were dreaming big. But this is what we ended up with. Ex-Post Office 2002 LDV Pilot. Oh yes, we've hit the big time. GI
UPDATE:
The grille has been nicked so we wont be frying any burgers.

Awesome. Get 01racefx.com to do you a vinyl wrap. Must stop the rust, too...

Gary is this the peugot engined 1900diesel series ? We used to run them a few years ago and the LR gearbox was an issue. I used to buy two gearboxes at a time from a local breaker to be sure of having one that'd work, I may still have a few spare ones. Cosmetics and patina look spot on.

Engine? Who said anything about an engine?

Yep PO red is too common - it definitely needs to be easily recognisable so we can all watch for it on the hard shoulder and stop to help out

Well its practical! What was the damage for such a high spec race transport system?

The tasteful mod would be a steering wheel knob to aid one handed turning while drinking coffee/eating bacon roll etc

Mr OUTTACONTROLLA do you think an after-market sail could be fitted? Or pedals maybe?

a chain link steering wheel should add 15-20bhp!!. my furry seat covers lifted top speed by 5mph!

OUTTACONTROLLA said...

How about bigger rear wheels for that 70's jacked up look and more MPH (down hill only!)
We have mettalic vinyl in stock for some pimped up front seats too !
