1300cc of Japan's Finest to escort us on the Mongol rally. Just a quick build thread for amusement.

The Good side.
Think the van has been rolled at some point
Bit of Sand, Filler etc
Shower cap on ready for primer
All masked up
Green
Bit of red. Looking more like a Pizza Delivery van at this point
Some Yellow
And how she stands.
Will update the thread as I sort out the various cameras/phones etc to get the pictures.
Roofrack, Vinyls etc should be finished by the weekend so will update as we go. Glassman should also have worked his magic on the van ready for the ext London meet too.

Dad used to have one of these as his work van
I have been driving it on and off for a few weeks and am getting quite attached to it.Can swallow and R6 no trouble. Took it camping this weekend and it was great. Slept in the back no bother whilst the peasants in their tents enjoyed the Welsh Rain.
The fairly close ratio box and the weird driving position makes its oddly enjoyable to drive when empty
big soft spot for these, my formative years were spent fanging the shyte out of the works one which had a sacrificial A0 ream of Wiggins Teape paper in the back for handling! I rolled it once on a sharp left hander in the wet. Got out pushed it back over with my mate and we carried on our merry way!
