You ever heard the phrase "flogging a dead horse"? That van is dead. It's a non-van. "It's dead, Dave." Let it rest in dignity, goddamit! It's the van equivalent of Joan Rivers. It'll never look like a new van, it'll look like an old van trying to look like a new van.

Mate you are truly an incredible craftsman and I wholeheartedly admire your work. That doesn't mean you're not mentally unwell for wanting to repair that van. I'd say you should get it acid-dipped and primed/sprayed good as new, but I'm not sure anything would come back up from the acid bath, it'd be like that bit in Jurassic Park where they lower the cow into the raptor pen. ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

owain wrote: it'd be like that bit in Jurassic Park where they lower the cow into the raptor pen. That's such a good analogy! And it's not something I wan't to do, boss says do it, I do it (Within reason!) Th only way for small independant agnts to profitably deliver industrial gas is on 3.5 tonne vehicles, the extra legislation, ADR drivers, CPC and O licence required to carry gas on 7.5 tonners increases costs massively which cant be recouped on existing delivery charges and bottle commission. Problem is you just can't legally get the weight we need to carry on the modern vans. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to say sod it and go out and source a nice shiny new Sprinter or something with a custom lightweight bed on, but they're just too heavy. Hence it's a seemingly endless stay in Transitville, population one (Dave). ________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies.

I don't get why a 2 ton T350 mk6/7 can't carry the same as a 2 ton mk5 T190 (3.5 ton) i.e, 1.5 tons?Or are the flatbed mk6 chassis that teeny bit heavier? ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |
