this is my 1984 breadvan, was pretty mint when i first got it in july! hence the 'was mint' only done 28 thousand miles. I'm the 3rd owner of it, the first owner was an old women who hardly drove it, then a man bought it for his son 2 years ago who never passed his test then got a bike apparently so its been garaged.

Engine: 1 litre 4 speed

Suspension: front coilovers and rear spax nitrous springs n shocks

Interior Styling: dark grey gt seats, blue carpet and fake blue leather door cards

when i first got her in july....

What a minter! What have you got planned for it?

Gorgeous!

As above, what have you got planned?

Well I've got a gt lump waiting to put in it, then I've just gotta try and find some wheels! But there's too many wheels I want ahaha, but my budgets pretty tight so I might just get some 13" bbs ras and get em sprayed light gold with a polished lip

At the end of summer me and a few mates went on a cruise round london and whilst sitting at some red lights a bloody taxi drive went straight into the back of me but because it was dark it looked like there wasnt much damage so i left it. the next day i noticed that my bumper and the metal bar behind it was a bit bent!

after taking the bumper off me and my mate tried to straighten it back but it didnt seem to work. we then held a side each and ran at a post with a bit of speed and it worked! (well a bit) so here it is now :crybaby

Looks proper mint, I think there is a concourse car waiting to break out there to be honest.

I wish !! Haha. Hopefully by summer it'll be looking a bit better anyway!

And cheers guys! :-D

Oh bad times! Ran at a post lol that made me laugh you can pick up 13" ra's pretty cheap, i paid £120 for mine with 4 decent tyres on them and in propper good condition, how low have u got it sitting and what coilovers have u got on the front??

Go for it man, it will be eligible for entrance to classic car shows due to it's age now.

Well it might have to be done then! Need to do a bit of work to the wings though as ill explain when I get back from work with some pretty pictures haha

yeah I've found some 14" ra's for sale from the guy i bought the bready off of. he wants £200 for em with some decent tyres...... sounds quite alot so I'm gonna have to get him down to around £130ish hopefully haha. and i dunno what coilovers they are as i got em second hand. ill put some pics of them up in a bit, and I'm down as low as my massive tyres will let me!

pics of the coilovers and shocks n springs...

the rears fitted... which i drove to kfc like this which was pretty funny haha

took ages jacking this up.... soooo much arch gap!

and all fitted at last!

little pic with suspension fitted and the heap of scrap i got em off ......

couple of bits i need to fit before the mot at the end of march...

and my rearranged sound system

oh yeah and me being me lowered the front of my car a bit too much, so in the snow whilst drifting around and being a snow-plow i flared both of my arches

which i bent back under with a metal bar and the paint has started chipping so i sprayed it quickly before it started rusting :(

this is my aim !

or this..... i think the cream does look better actually..

had my car mot'd on friday and i got it back looking like this!!

i was so pissed off! so i had a massive go at them and they fixed it today

mk1 golf splitter fitted today :)

ignore the 2 front wheels! put them on to pass the mot!

oh and ignore that 'small' oil leak

got my upswept done the other week :) pretty pleased with how it came out !

I like the splitter... Get some wheeels!

well i was saving up for some wheels............... buuuuut my bad luck with cars has hit its lowest point! a few weeks ago i hit a rabbit which dented the front in along with taking the splitter off1 then on thursday my head gasket blew then i fixed that over the weekend but i started the car when the timing was a bit out and might of bent the valves................ so either need to rebuild the head or get a new engine now!

heres the rabbit damage...

and taking the head off of my car...

Car looks v. nice mate, one of the few breadies I actually like!

Shit news about the rabbit and head. But at least while the head is off you can do some work to it and get it nice and clean. Get the dremmel into those ports and smooth them off......
