Post by mustard »

heres dads van, a few people already know bout it, but sure we might aswell show all of yes...

as this week being off work, we got the garage in work to ourselves, and most importantly the ramp.

the plan from the start was to go with the guiness colours, so i'll let the pics do the talking, we only got the subbies built up and the car rolling, next is the brake and fuel lines.

Would it not be easier to fit the fuel and brake lines before fitting the subframes or are ye running them internally.How did ye get on with fitting the tower bolts on the subframe.Looking forward to seeing it when it is finished,will there be sign writing on it.

kmg we needed to get it on wheels as soon as for moving it more than anything, otherwise it would be getting in the way. ended up finding two tower bolts but gonna do wat you suggested for the other two. signwriting, well as its goin to be a guiness van, the plan is to put on the guiness signwriting, along with the harp and so on,

also there might be plan to have a trailer to tow precious imm cargo!!!!
