Nearly, Nearly there now. I'm within touching distance of having the trav MOT'able. Admittedly its still going to look as rough as a bag of spanners but should be legal very soon.
just need a rear brake light lense (I cannot, for the life of me find one - I know we have at least 3 kicking around!) fit new bottom bushes at the front and do the seatbelts
and
Fit the tyres
I've also done a bit of experimenting with the bonnet badge and have come up with this.....
Paint seemed to stick pretty well, so I've got another one on the go at the moment that is going to be the colour I paint a large amount of the chromework eventually....
Go Dan!!
good luck with getting it MoTed, remember, if my scruffy moggy managed to pass then yours will! it doesn't matter what it looks like as long as it's driveable!

hi dan good luck mine looks worse than that no shine at all on the body the rear windows have gaffa tape on teh edges so they dont rattle but took for mot and one job picked up a rear wheel brake was no work on the foot so a new one then new mot cert
what wheels are they on the front you putting on there
Weller 8 Spokes. 13" which is a pain put otherwise pukka wheels. Painted in Ford Glacier Blue - it kinda shifts between blue and grey depending on light conditions.
Spent most of today completely stripping them back (they were a vile yellow colour) and getting them sprayed up. They need a few more coats before I'm happy for them to be used though.
What you don't see is that the window channel at the back is b&q plastic W section kept in the right place with a couple of slivers of mahogany. Its a complete bodge but works suprisingly well. Couldn't afford proper channels at the time and its a low priority compared to MOT
the same wheels that i have on mine but mine was crome so painted the center black left the rim crome
why dont they do fiber glass rear end for the traveller would be so much easyer will yours be like mine on the no matter teh weather come rain sun or snow mine is doing 500 miles a week
possibly. Depends on whether the fiesta passes its MOT or not. If the fiesta passes then I'll improbably alternate between the two. If it fails then its mog all the way for a while. I've just substantially reduced my weekly mileage to around about 100 from 400 so I'm sure it'll have no problems coping but it's still a bit rough round the edges for a daily hack and even with an MOT it'll still need lots of work to turn it into a sensible daily.
I quite liked the 'vile yellow colour' when they were fitted to my van , I suppose they did match the signs though, Not sure what the new ones match now.
Well done on the traveller though.
cheers, Daniel

The pulling power of a Turbo Diesel! The voices may not be real, but they have good ideas.
