Budget Combo Project

[donvaux]

Just thought i'd start a thread for my new budget "after hours" work vehicle lol i bought it off ebay for £290 with tax and mot just needed a new head gasket which was sorted the same day i got the van, how i love 8v's so easy to work on, the plans are to get it secure and ready for work and smarten the paintwork up a bit, here is a before and after pic after i got bored of the boat-like handling lol



i'll update with more pics of my SPORT exhaust that i have fitted/fabricated on the weekend, thanks for looking

If its anything like my projects the budgets dont get stuck to! looks like a nice buy for that price, you could always go down the 8v route with a set of dcoes slapped on the side
