Long and low budget T5 build

when we cutting out for the windows? .... .......v straight panels dude ...nice

That looks mental with no windows! Love it, a fucking tombstone, slab of a van!

Needs "private ambulance" logos

Cheers girls... She looks alright now but still thinking the maybe raise the turrets on the front and a couple chassis mods to the rear and lower her properly lmfao... And as for windows dude they're coming you know me...
Also been looking for a modern style roof lights to fit... No I was proper joking honest...

Hmmmmm think I may need to fire a couple pics on here in the morning of the new ride height on this thing ;-) ;-)

nice looking van dude ......V jealous

Come on Richard, get those pics up, got to see it.

I want windows in my van, but just no dollar. Where will you get yours from dude? Easy enough to do yourself?

Cheers Nomates it's only a van same as every bugger has these days though :-)

Pretty sure I'll be doing mine my self dude easy enough to do hot pants :-)

Here she is sat at the new ride height had to change the tyres so went for some low pros and skinnier up front with a bit of stretch..

The front still needs to come down about 20-30mm hopefully that'll be Wednesday night when I having got the kids..

These pics are of her straight off the jack so it has settled abut now :-)





And then today whilst shopping a standard T5 parked behind me :-)





Can't wait to bring the front down some more..

oh no !!.......I remember the last window cutting you did ....LOL

that is just MAD

Lol Steve it won't be nothing like that... I don't think ;-)

Phil it'll be better when I make a few more mods to the front to bring it down about another 20-30mm hoping for Wednesday night :-)

Fuck me Rich, you must feel every lump n the road!!

Looks ace though.

Can you talk me through the windows when I can afford to do it?

No man she still rides like a dream it's all good loves it ;-) i'll talk you through a window or through a slags back door I'm easy :-) yeah dude no probs..

Looks sweet!

How high is the van now? Under the 2meter limit for carparks yet?

Ummm gotta be dude I think.. Floor to arch is 630mm :-)

Height of the young girl is 1810mm so yep she's under 2m dude :-)

Excellent. In line with your recent over night stay af Newquay here's some info: U can now park in the lower carpark at perranporth but not at Chapel Porth or Porthkernow beaches, as you're gonna ground out on the beach roads before you get there

looks mental as ever dude, do you work down brue way highbridge sure ive seen your ride parked up?

Mental as ever hehehehe glad i havent changed to much ;-) Yeah man I do it's only been there a couple times though you done well to spot it's long ass :-)

i work next door at hy-tech

Guess it could be time for a update on here.. Loads has happened now frigging loads.. I'll try.getting on photobucket and upload all the pics and get them on here so you can have a watercooled wank if that's how you get down..

I got bored of the panel van so got the grinder out and chopped in some privacy windows.

I had the seats retrimmed by a mate who I always use and got me some veltrim to give a go see what its like. Everything got insulated.
Also built a unit to go behind the seats with flush gloss doors and no handles.

While I was doing the interior I ran all the electrics and sound system wiring. Leisure battery, split charge and 1500w invertor. Mains hook up under the bonnet with consumer unit under the passenger seat and invertor to mains change over switch through the seat base.
