Well its taken a long time and i was geting a little worred but i finely got a van today. Nothing flash just a Fiat Ducato 2L.
I need to rel;ine the back as the ply on the flor is covered in oil and the stuff on the sides is very thin ply and i whant something a litle stronger to put eyes on to tye a bike to .
The only bad thing it it needs a screen some time as it has a crack in the on it has and it only has 2 seats, so i will have to start ringing around to fined a twin seat set up at a brakers.

I spend the holl day yesterday bording out the nan. What a hassle. But i get there in the end . I put a speker on ether side in the back bit . If i ever go away with the kids i will be nice i thourght . I put 50mm Rock wool behined every gap top and bottom even the back door and the small pannels above the sliding door i just cut the wool down. So it should be worm in the winter cool in the sunmmer but most of all quieter. Im going to get some cheep carpet to cover the borde to finish itof and make it wormer and quieter and again nicer if i go any where with the kids.     Its all wooled up under the black bord as well. Do you think i got a bit carred away? |

well its not new, But yes it is in good nick. i looked at loads and they where all rotten or bashed or a small fortune 6/7 or 8 grand plus VAT. so this was a bargen it needs a few things doing to it. Front windo twin seat up front , the borbing ofcourse and i think a new sump gasket as it leeks oil and i can see instant gasket around the sump. Hopefully it wont cost a lot to fix and it will be that simple, but with my luck it will be something thats costs loads, so we will have to wate and see when it gets looked at.
But on the holl i am happy with it . It drives lovely with power stearing, non of my past vans had this and it is quiet as well my other vans you had to showt to be heard over the engine and the echo you get from an empty van.

I should be so lucky. Its not going to be just a van for moving bike in. Ill be driving the kids about in the holls/ going camping in it and i would like to do some shows this year if i can. so i whant it to be comfortable. Need to get a CD player for it now and dump the old Casset thats in it from standard.
