Now I've done it

[Jock]

When I got married I said that there had to be no conditions, take me as I am with all my vices (Bedford, 6 motorbikes, and way too many projects!) and she said yes.

The woman should take you for who you are and all that you entail even if that includes a swag of projects including custom vans! 
I have been happily married now for 2 years!

Hold strong Busy, keep the projects!

She is a great woman, she takes me as I am, it was her idea that I finish

An example of how great she is, less than 2 months after meeting her I took her along to her very first swap meet, she loved it and didn't mind carrying all the parts back to the car (I carried some too :p).
There is a mid winter swap meet where we have to stay the night before (could drive down but easier to stay night in motel), last year i wasn't going to go because they changed locations and figured it might be a bit small, but she insisted that it's our thing, so we go every year.
Also she knows I love my vans, and even supports my toy van addiction, she has found me a few and often rings me asking if I have such and such a van, I just have to teach her not to spend to much on them

I've heard there are 3 rings in marriage, engagement ring, wedding ring and suffering

David, It would still be a good idea to hang onto one of the vans as Garry said, then you have the best of both worlds

[BusyKiwi]

I actually got another one today *gulp* thats 4

The plan was to sell them at one stage as i got plans for a couple more, really want to do a tandem flatdeck CF with v8 on the tray and also want to do a tandem swb, and also want to do a more radical chop, 6inches in the front, 2 at the back

DO YOU THINK YOU HAVE TIME TO GET MARRIED

Hey David,

Way to go mate. I'll put in your appologies, both for the meeting and for thinking about selling off you vans.

The misses is a treasure so hang onto her, and the vans, and sell the house. Better still, with just the two of you (at the moment), convert one bedroom into the toy van romm and another into the big van storage area.

I like the idea of the tandem SWB. Next to none around any more. I want to chop down a SWB into a twin cab pickup and would still like to build a trailer from a SWB (or LWB) to tow behind mine. Need to finish mine off first though or "she who shall be obeyed" will toss all my toys out of her cot.

Have fun with the rallies and hope to catch up again soon. You should bring the misses up north for the run at Queens Birthday weekend.

Garry.

She has 2 teen kids, only 1 still at home, so no toy room yet, will just full up the rest of the house with toy vans

Garry, I have a swb trailer up for sale soon, front cut off at front doors and another back put on the front, originally was going to do full van with front but I stole the window frame out of it. was going to do dolly wheel on the front with pin for backing (keep the rear wheels in the arch) or it could be made as just a 2 wheeler. I'm only just putting the front of it on, so still lots to do on it, if your keen let me know else will go on tm
The plan was to make it up like the standard cf and then on down the track change it to the custom van style
