donut boys van

hope your a winner phil,
astros 4 world domination

philoldsmobile · October 29, 2005, 12:22:33 AM

still looking good....

have some 'headroom' on the final price, so can throw an extra couple of hundred in for good measure 2 mins before the auction end if need be, just to keep the snpers at bay..

the plan is, if i loose this one, i'm gonna have the grey one, and have the engine rebuilt..

wheels look good on that van

55starchief · October 30, 2005, 07:07:07 PM

Looks nice mate, just needs that trailer

philoldsmobile · October 30, 2005, 07:09:38 PM

wheels unfortunatley are starting to rust, but but are only about £35 each anyway, so will probably be changed for a new set.

greame. yup, just needs the 'special' trailer to complete the image!!

FUBAR · October 30, 2005, 07:11:19 PM

are you gonna spray the trailer to match?

still high bidder.....
