Hi,
Thought I would send you some pictures to put on the forums, purchased the van on 20/01/2012 with the intention of restoring it for our service van.
When I bought it I was told it belonged to a mechanic who worked for a Renault garage in Long Eaton who purchased it in 1994
after agreeing a price from the persons who did the house clearance I set about restoring it.
There was no rust whatsoever on the underside or body, just a dent on each of the front wings. After repairing and painting this is the final result.
I had to change the engine as it was seized solid also the heater matrix and radiator were replaced.
I went through the mechanics of the vehicle and sent it for an mot and it passed with only a couple of advisories. The back is all boarded and carpeted and it has Renault 25 seats..and with the old style lettering which we used to use when we first started in 1982 this is a real eye catcher .
This van is lovely to drive and i am loking forward to driving it around..
The last picture shows the van how it was when i bought it
