for the oldie ......its just gotta be "52blue" ......or "blue52" .......has a real nice ring to it ............and as for the silver one, it just has to be "Richard" in respect to the poor man who wasn't allowed to sleep in it on its first outing........or maybe that should be "Dick" .......is kinda along similar lines to Denise's "Willy"

Hey trev and carrots
Tow "Blue 52" over to the east coast . Signwriter will sign it for free....ha,ha. You wont be that far away if you are heading to Jindabyne... just another 5 or 600 K to Newcastle
Silver van ="silver bullet" but I suppose its gotta be named after part of the male body ??
Anyway .. your vans look great.

Ok now I am going to give the name thingy a go............................. what about " Silver Service"........................ it gives the van a bit of class............ and god knows everyone needs a little class ............ .and considering the little van is an "Aristocrat" it seems to fit.

The silver bullet looks great!
Did you buff or polish it once stripped? What about a protective coat to keep it shiny?
Was it originally white or silver from the factory?

hey guys ...im ba-ack!!
sorry ...been "off the air" lately..work n that sort a crap
earlee..the van was originally factory white..then badly painted several times with all sorts of sh*t paint until it was 1/2 inch wider than original. i used 15l of paint stripper to clean it,pressure cleaning it along the way,then auto rubbing compound with a buffer, then washed it down with sugar soap,THEN pollished it with 4 tubes of autosol, THEN took it to williams & coated it with a smear of bugs & road grime.
will ,,yep starting to get used to that name
cheers trev
