Ooooh, want to see more piccies of Frankie bet you can't wait to get him home!

[Bean]

I can't wait to see him with his doors, front screen and arches, lol I really can't wait!


We've got some parts lined up ready to go on him! I really hope to get down to him next week, but it all depends on what my uncle can do.

I also need some strong people at my end to be able to lift him back off the trailer when he gets here, lol - Unfortunately Kris will be at work! So at the moment it stands at myself and my Uncle! And that's just not going to happen!

[Bean]

Guess who's coming home tomorrow!

[sazal]

Yippee! Are you going to take lots of piccys of him for us!

[Jackman]

Guess who's coming home tomorrow!

Kris?

[Bean]

Hehehe - Troooo, Jackman! Can't wait, already!


And yep - I will take looaaaadddssss of piccys, Sazal!

(Suppose you might want a few of the van, too? )



I really can't wait though - It's been far too long since the somewhat 'snap' decision to buy the van! I can't wait to get it back and get some bits put onto it!

[sazal]

Van piccys please Bean!

When you bought him was he already in the bodyshop?!

[Bean]

I bought him from a panel beater!

He did all the metal work on him and then we paid him to spray the van, too!

So it has been fully rebuilt! It's got 4 under-coats and about the same top-coats. Then a thinner top coat so its got a better finish! It's all stonechipped underneath and in the engine bay. It's painted bodycolour inside and out - And underneath!


Once he did that, he's fitted the doors, windscreen and the arches! Then he's waxed and polished the paintwork!

[Jackman]

OOO the van, get piccies, also if you want some of Kris you can take them

Have you done the sign writing yet?

[Bean]

Not yet, nope! I know what I want it to look like - I just want to make sure that the van looks the way I've got it in my head, first - Then I know the signwriting will match!

I'm so excited!!!

[Bean]

Today's the day!
