I was looking to buy an old Ice Cream van (for a banger rally to Italy) I had the idea that I'd drive to Italy in an old ice cream van and it up to look like the A Team, then give out Funny "Face" ice creams to kids and other competitors etc. I also thought I'd change the normal music to the A Team music and play it all the way to Italy.
Anyway I was looking for cheap ice cream vans on fleebay and could only find one that fitted into budget. It was a 1973 van (older than me) and it had a white plastic garden chair for the pasenger seat! Your picture just reminded me about it!
Typical D3 owner, not satisfied with a normal seat has to upgrade to one with a memory - Seat Up, Seat Down!D3 HSE MY05 Auto

Ok, on a more serious note, started about a week ago, wet (very wet) carpets on the passenger side, so I deciced to...
1. Remove the carpets to let them dry
2. Find and fix leak
But I ended up doing a couple of other things as well.
1. Fixed the dropping passenger seat problem, the trick with adding a few coins on each spring works.
2. Repainted all the interior trim, door handles etc, as an result of scratches etc.
3. Washed carpets and seats
4. Fitted aux port
Found the following as well (Applicable on South African S spec)
1. Wiring loom in place for PDC, connectors for control box etc.
2. Wiring loom in place for approach lights in all doors
3. Wiring loom in place for auto dim mirror
Still a couple of connectors etc, I want to check on GTR.
So I am planning to make a couple of enhancements...
Wife not all that happy, with me taking over the kitchen
