Club 80-90 Forums

Greetings and salutations,

I bought a 1980 panel van that had been in a muddy field for 6 years back in may, and am currently in the process of getting it ready for this years Busfest, will i make it? it's going to be close....

I figured that I'd try to give back a little, from the information i have gathered from you guys & the Brickyard, and record my troubles, and pass it on for other who may encounter the same problems, and decide to tackle it themselves, and also log my adventure

I've read many a great builds on places like the SSVC, but couldn't find many on wedges, so I've had a little go myself.

So I'm not posting everything on different forums, I'm compiling mine as a blog, and it can be found here

Project Orange

Following with interest. Is that orange T25 rendered with photoshop, or is it a real T25, and if so, who's is it?

Enjoyed reading that ! Will check in again soon.

Love the radio, someone was looking for an original on here a few months back, you should stick it in the for sale section. As you said though it may go for silly money on e-bay.

Good blog, hate your post title though

Its a bit of both, i used a image of a orange T25 from a German site, then just "shopped" it, Its intention is to point towards the direction of where i'm going, as opposed to exactly where i'll end up.

Bit of a lucky find i guess, given it still had that in, I've got some decent I.C.E. lined up including a TV to fit, so I'll not be using it, if anybody wants to make me a offer on it, PM me

I've just been offered a set of genuine 80's "Ring Rally Giants" including the covers, so I'm defo going to fit them

*Must remember to "shop that picture some more

It's not meant to offend, but i lost two grandparents to the disease , and my cars are like my loved ones, dear to me, and rust, unfortunately, has the same affect on cars as cancer does on people - I'm not making light of anyone else's losses, its just personally how I've dealt with the subject in my life . (However I'll change it, to please the masses)

Ah I see, makes sense. I'm now following your blog

Excellent, i wrote another small entry to it last night before bed, slipped in some more pictures

Looking good mate cant wait to see the end result;-)
