Just sorting out an old storage container full of stuff from a house move 6 years ago. Amongst the all the books I found some old photos of the first van we owned, I could never remember the registration. Now I have the reg I did a quick search on DVLA.

Looks like its alive and well somewhere! Sorry if you ended up with it and had to strip out all the grey jumbo cord carpet that I stuck everywhere using Evostick contact adhesive.

 

Nice one Silver,
Don't you just love evostick ...... Where's the pics?

 

Mrs S is going to try and scan some later. This or I'll take pictures of the pictures!

 

This is a photo of a one of the old photos. Back when I did all my best work out in the street outside my mums place. You can just see my old Triumph Herald on the left, mums partners Lancia Beta I think on the right, our old ford tipper and I'm not sure what the other one is, but I'll bet it was one of ours. I have 4 brothers and we all had cars and took up a lot of the shared parking I bet the neighbours loved us!

There's a bit of my special jumbo cord work on the overhead locker

 

BUY IT BACK it will make a great story...

 

Fixed

 

I've sin the bits ,your a Jaffa lover at heart you know that

 

A couple more of the old pictures.

A young me and even younger helper with our home brew engine/bus lift.



New long block from big boys toys with a couple of extra shiny bits (I was young). The first engine snapped its crank.


Reconnecting fuel lines



The wife says I looked like a thug and she didn't know what she saw in me

 

Mate pics are awesome!!! You look just the same with 'Silver' hair lol!! AND you smoked!!!!

 

Brilliant pics x how lovely knowing it's still alive somewhere...

 

Connecting fuel lines with fag in hand lol classic

 

Those were the days, you could do anything back then, including setting yourself on fire and no one bothered you!

 

Silver,
Fab, fab pics fella......love the ciggy pic....you just can't beat old pics

 

is that young one me

 

Ciggy in the mouth or hand is a common theme in a lot of my old pictures

 

What a tart thuggy more like

 

I don't think you were even born then!

 

I stuck jumbo cord all over my first van too. What were we thinking?
You must track it down.
