Dual purpose van.

On the v5 (or equivalent ) no but it most likely would fail itv. I like the orange ones too. Remember, I'm trying to keep this looking like a work van so I can stealth camp in places otherwise prohibited.

I finally found some wheels that I don't mind and they will have to do for now. They were only 100 euros when everybody else wanted 300/350 so a good deal. They do need a little refurb, I'm doing it on the cheap. These may end up matt black.

They seem to have been used as parking sensors for kerbs.

I sanded them down and sprayed two full cans of aluminium colour and a can of clear lacquer.

Then painted the centre caps copper. They won't be staying like this. There is more to come there.

They now look like this. I still need to find an off road tyre in the size 215/65/15 of anybody now's of a supplier....

I also converted a piece of old Spanish furniture into a cage for Mrs FA's Gloucester Canary, Rosie.
Total spend for the day.....15 euros. Get in!!!.

Recycling at its best.

I think the paint fumes had took hold. That's my excuse, anyway.

They now look like this.

Lovely job Arf, albeit the above picture looks like the rim is completely distorted. I'll see if I can find a tyre for you - have you contacted AV for advice?

Loving the bird cage and repurposing that piece of furniture - ideal. The Mrs loves "Escape to the Chateau" , Angel and hairy Dick for these sorts of ideas

[spedwing]

So the rim isn’t supposed to look distorted?? That’s why I asked how you did it ... trippy !!

Don't shoot this messenger.... 215/65 vs 215/75 comparison below (I like the Grabber and Wrangler Options!)

Theres a Mastercraft Avenger G/T Performance Radial Tire - 215/65R15 95T which look nice. Mastercraft are a subsidiary of Cooper so may be available to you?
