No. 35 - Vauxhall / Bedford Midi van

[edessex]

I did message him. He wants £80 for the seats and bull bar, and is 85 miles away.

I'm considering it though. Might ask what the price is for just bull bars.

 

[Andy]

Where where where where!?

I need bull-bars.

The ****hole of S.E London, Charlton.

 

[edessex]

South of the river?

That sounds risky... But I'm interested in buying the bull bars if they're scrapping it...

 

[Andy]

I’m there now... I’ll ask.

 

[Andy]

Ergh. It’s been sat there for 15 years, and loads of people have asked if it’s for sale. I got the worst kind of answer... “The guy that owns it isn’t here right now, but I’ll ask him when he is”.

The owner’s one of those annoying magpie types apparently.

 

[Andy_Mk3]

So basically it'll sit there forever more and not be touched.

 

[edessex]

Yeah, I know that drill.

Thanks for asking though Andy!

Recent spendings:

-£55 for the 4x steel wheels (with 3 useable tyres)
-£30 for a pair of number plates

To pay shortly:
-£80 transfer fee for the G-WOW plate
-£65 for bull bars, seats, and air filter housing


But I am literally hemorrhaging money at the moment. Possibly shouldn't have paid the tax for the Midi outright, and insurance for Midi & Movano outright.

In the red at the moment, so might start selling off a few bits, and break No.33.

 

[Andy_Mk3]

Could have fixed up the mk3 to concours condition for that dollar!

 

[edessex]

True, but it still wouldn't really be up to what I need at the moment!

 

[edessex]

Although to be fair the numberplates and transfer fee is just be being a bit silly. The plate isn't really worth much, so I shouldn't really bother with it.

Likewise with the bull bars, I don't NEED them.

Just going to have to have a bit of a clear out to fund things.
I'm going to try and avoid selling the bike, but it is in the 'maybe' list as I don't get much time to ride it...

 

[FrostyWaffle]

Don't be silly Ed, you need that bullbar....

Where else are you gonna install some offroader floodlights?

 

[edessex]

Got a pair of 8" (or around that) spotlights off a Land Rover, will see if they fit on the bull bars.

Possibly transfer the roof lights from the Astra on there, and actually wire it in this time!

 

[Vauxestate1]

You're gonna need a massive spot light on the roof at the rear you no just in case. and wire it up with the reverse lights and on a separate switch lol

 

[edessex]

Will probably be taking the rear spots off the Astra for that.

 

[Rancid_Ron]

Edford Midi

She's looking good! Hopefully earning its keep too!

 

[edessex]

Used it for a couple of little jobs so far.

 

[Vauxestate1]

Lol its a grow van

 

[astranaut]

The Edford I like that, I suggest a title change

New tyres turned up this week!

So I took the old tyres off the other pair of L200 steels.

**** me that was a pain! I've bruised the hell out of my side where I was trying to push the tyre lever round!
Too much rust, tyres didn't want to come off!
