Well with low to no work being done on the van at the moment.

 

I've found myself looking at other minis again!!!!!

It's even in right colour... Wonder if the misses would go mad if I bought myself a early birthday present!

 

I do like that, Very nice, It looks quite clean too.

Why not surprise your Mrs on your birthday with the announcement of your new arrival,

She`ll be fine with it as it is your birthday after all lol ;-)

 

 

If only I had the money Lee. If I did it should really be going on the van.

You have come a long way with it thou mate in all fairness and now that your chucking some paint at it you will soon be on the final stretch which is for me my favourite part of a build, Adding the parts to it after it has been painted gives me massive sense of achievement,

Not long now thou mate and it will be back on the road before you know it,

All the best with it, I'm looking forward to seeing it finished ;-)

Believe me I'm trying! 

 

I want it finished this year at least.

 

IMM at the very latest so I can get it on the picture for the "most van's in one place" that's happening.

If your on facebook I suggest joining this group https://www.facebook...47726491913780/

 

There is going to be a massive meet of vans at the IMM show and someone is organising the event photographer to take pictures of it.

 

I think there's about 15 vans at the moment.

Not roll on Tuesday now!!! Were having the broadband and phone installed any they were meant to be coming between 1-6pm. They have now decided that they need two visits between 8am-12pm then 1pm-6pm to install it so no time on the van for me.

 

I thought I might get the morning in before they arrived.
