,,shes a fine bus indeed could be used for a multitude of purposes 

first thought 1st pic was the Ateam then came scooby wagon 
then on seeing the 2nd picture I realised Noggy is a wannabe foccin serial killer 

[noggythenog]

It has a low thermal fingerprint lads which i hear is good for.........staying warm


Just gotta get the polythene layer sorted out so the spatters dont stay on the walls....from my pot noodle juice, always put too much water in


She'll be some machine when shes finished, worthy of these pages i reckon, something different. Got a few windows to go in, massive rear step is at the powder coaters & theyre also sorting out a spare wheel mechanism that folds down.

[Frosties]

I love it Noggy and it will be a beaut when finished - keep us updated fella.


Might be a silly question but can you buy them stock with jacked up suspension and is it 4x4?

It's a proper job 4x4, switches on the dash for the diff's.  Merc shipped them off to a company called Oberaigner and they fitted them out....I think the cheapest set up would have been about 25k on top of the original van cost....haven't heard of any of the non 4x4's being jacked up although in theory you should be able to get all the parts but because they are so rare they are gonna be brand spanking mega bucks to get hold of.

VW do 4x4 versions of their small vans too but I think they are also mega money.

It is a major project and I wouldn't have forked out the money that I've spent on bodywork and spraying if it hadn't have been the 4x4 version, at least it has some prestige and so I should always make my money back. the body's on Sprinters are terrible for rust it is everywhere and even after all of the work I fully anticipate further touch ups over the years....chassis is rock solid though and the underside is now all done in chassis armour paint too.

And by the way.....not fulling giving up on squeezing a bike in the back of it.....might just get one in there if I'm crafty enough with the interior design but it'll still be behind the bulkhead and at an angle.....how much of an angle is the issue and whether the front wheel will then be blocked by the furniture...maybe utilise a centre stand dolley type thing......im not giving up all hope anyway just yet.....my kayak is too long to fit inside but to get a bike in there even if just to take for its mot in winter or whatever would be a major advantage.

Stripped-down and rebuilt the ZZR front calipers, 7 out of 8 piston's seized and the last didn't exactly fall out. Was lucky to get away with reusing the piston's and seals. Focin no way that thing should have passed an mot

I would rather do both those jobs than jet wash the north terrace at Sharp hall which I have been doing for 2 days and now am crawling around re cementing all the cement that the jet was blew out.

Went out on the 8 Ball to the Big bikers Breakfast at the Raven Café at Prees Heath. Hundreds of bikes there, some lovely Vincent's, Rocket Goldies, old Jap stuff, a Kwak H2 supercharged thingy, the one that really sticks in the memory was the MZ ETZ250 café racer, bloody lovely and sounded great.

[joebloggs]

Rebuilt the carbs and fitted them, struck it up and it revved clearly (something it wouldn't do before cleaning etc) then the focer flooded again, I focin hate carbs, dropped them off at a local dealers, let him sort out float height etc.

On positive note all the brakes are now serviced with no sticking and every nut and bolt I could get to has been greased

Steering head bearings tomorrow.

[taylor]

Yeah, does seem to be a bit of a lottery these days whether or not someone buying from you will actually turn up and go through with the sale. Oh well, at least it's not a buyer from the bay of evil, so there's some chance. And I've got a queue lined up if this one falls through, as I've underpriced it for a quick sale.


I don't have a guvnor though, so I've placed the amount of the sale price on a bet with a minuscule chance of winning 

[taylor]

polishing another pint off mr noggy lol.

[fazersharp]

Its a pet name for my house - just a normal - ish house, so for north terrace read - slabs that go green, for lawns read - grass for garaging court yard read- driveway for grand stair case read- hall way

Well, it went today 
No arguments over money, as it was priced very competitively. Buyer seemed more than happy.
Can't say I won't miss it, it was fun, if a gnat's on the noisy side!
Now got more money to spend on riding the Fazer! 

[esetest]

Took the Ducati for its first ride since the 600 mile service , rode to Avebury hill then back via Salisbury plain , what a cracking little bike , I was worried the lack of fairing might be an issue at higher speeds , but it's not .

[taylor]

packed my suitcase ready for Monday, two weeks cruise all inclusive.   asta la vista
