Right…..

Back to our normal transmission.

Time to clean out the inside, vacuum the interior, and wash the outside.

So reversed down my reasonably narrow alleyway.

Parked up and cleaned the interior, well, first phase.

Grubby as heck and after removing all the junk from inside, as per video, it was clear this is a mess.

At some point, the van, which started life as a white commercial vehicle, became yellow.

Look at the old colour sticking out on the rear door.

I need to make up a strip to cover and close that all.

I do wonder if the yellow phase was associated with when it was lowered and the interior all done out, including the “pink and blue” graphics.

Anyway….. another job to get to.

Little jobs.

Like finding and replacing the fuel filler door release.

Currently an old pair of pliers.

Surely, some sort of improved version of the pliers cannot be that hard to make.

Think hand grenade pin and slip over the nipple in some non return way type design.

Not that hard to make and fit.

Another job to get to.

After vacuuming the interior, I needed to,was the van, because I like them,clean, and had driven at least an hour on the motorway in the rain.

This pic was taken, still dirty.

Possibly one of my favourite photos so far.

Not sure if one can see the difference afterwards……

I had moved it back, down into the garden a bit.

But it is cleaner.

Then I brought themS10 through and washed it as well.

Mickey had told me off for parking it out front, FOR SALE but dirty, covered in spiders cobwebs.

So it was cleaned as well.

Next job on the van will be to try get the rear loadbed floor carper a bit cleaner.

Rust, grease, and whatever else after 30 years must be able to get changed.

Wet vacuum job to get to next.

Thanks for checking in and all those who take the time to post a reply or response.

It is the weekend.

Cheers.
