thought id put a few pics up of my estate
before washing





after its wee spruce up( by spruce up I mean 2mins with a bucket n sponge haha)









it came up not too bad id say- n defo not bad for what I paid for it!

Hi & welcome.
Looks pretty tidy.

Looks good.
Maybe I should spend 2 minutes washing my car one day, I'm happy to let the rain do the work for now..

just wait for the next heavy down pour, run out and spray some shampoo over it and hey presto- job done lol

Ha Ha - I've actually done that before.....

Looks a very clean car and not just after the wash, I can't see much in the way of dinks and dents at all.

Out of curiosity what engine/spec is it? I see the non-colour coded handles and mirrors so I'm guessing 'L' but then again they could be replacements
We could have a guess the spec game if it wasn't for the fact they fitted whatever they had in the bin at the time!

Respect da green estate. [/impartial comment]

lol you are correct sir it is indeed an 'L' its a 1.9 dt

I got it a few weeks ago, mot till end of may for what id say was the bargain price of £150

looks like same colour as mine. green paint and cream interior. mines a 2001 2.0 hdi 110hp

its been a while since I updated my pics so thought I had better- its in the middle of a transformation at the moment- still very much a work in progress but a rolling work in progress- for my work I needed something that would stand out and ideally a van but prices up here are extorsionate so I thought id turn my 406 into a van ish looking creature- some may like it some wont
















its had the rear handles removed, windows blacked out, rear doors welded up and filled and a temp coat of paint over it- its to get a final sand then final paint- then its off to the signwriter to get my company details on it

Well, it's different and I guess less potential problems with the central locking......

You wanted something to stand out, I think you have done just that......

Child locks not an issue either, will you be welding up the passenger door too to keep the missus out as well....

lol not yet but it is on the cards if she keeps it going............................

got to fit in an install around my tool boxes and displays once I get them made up

, Where the hell are you that van prices are that much, all the time & effort you'll put into this not to mention cash
I find it hard to beleive that you couldn't find a half decent van for what this will work out & you've got a very low roof height
Sorry it's very different but I can't see the logic , but that probably just me

Well we haven't seen one of them before

Very impressive.
