What have I done?
« on: March 20, 2013, 05:47:20 PM »
As a lot of you may know I'll be selling my 2 vans and taking a break from vans for a couple of years and getting married .... and later getting a bigger place with minimum 4 car, err van garage and had already planned my next project, tandem flatdeck CF with V8 sitting on the deck ....

Well long story short, I've brought myself a flat deck CF, was right place ... but it is really the wrong time.
I have a place to put it for now but have no idea what to do.
I can't store it until we get another place, so have to A: do it up and sell it (keep another beddy on the road), B: strip it and sell off the running gear (chev v6, turbo 350 auto and 9in diff, and turbo mags) and dump the body, C: unstitch the cab and chassis and store the bits under the house or somewhere until am ready.

I really wish it hadn't come along, as now have no idea what to do with it
There are so many people out there who will tell you that you can't. What you've got to do is turn around and say "watch me"

I think you just need to face facts. You're not ready to give up vans for a couple of weeks let alone a couple of years.  :P

Busy, finish the custom van and I'll store it in my drive way for you.
I'll even give it a drive once a week or so just to ensure it's in peak condition ;)

do the trayback then sell it then use that money on the custom 1# keeps another bedi alive 2# moves you closer to finishing the custom!!! 3#repeat process .in the end you end up with a custom van finished and even make a profit.It takes a little longer but it works because im doing it now .i have everything for my van bar wheels & paint and it hasnt cost me a Razoo  .Magic aye??
