Pete

it was a local car and was used by a guy i know who runs a tyre place. for months i kept mentioning to him to swap it with mine. It eventually came up for sale. i have spent a few quid on it for the mot etc but should run on for a while.

The wheels are BMW style 5.

i plan to run it on filtered chip fat when i can fine a source. the C&E need to be notified, but if it's free then it's about 20p a litre in tax plus meths to thin it, so it does not clog up with the cold weather.

Think you can handle the power Toby?? Looks in not bad nick too

Heard a woman on the wireless the other day talkin about running on cooking oil. Apparently you get a form from the tax man that you fill in saying how many miles you have done and type of car, they work out mpg and send you a bill. They believe you're going to be honest when stating milage covered

A mate used to run his little van on chippy oil, you could smell it as well - apparently if you use oil from an indian, it smells like a curry

I think you have to filter it, add a bit of white spirit and leave it for a week before using - with no engine mods needed.

Looks nice mate.

All you will need is a bottle of vinegar and salt on the dash and we could have a mobile chippy for our events.... Think of the money you could make mate.

I like the wheels. I take it is for the decking business mate

It sure is for the decking and can fit all my tools(which is a lot) in it and timber on the roof if necessary.

The power is just about manageable. It's body work is sound and have undersealed it. i have replaced a few wear and tear things but these all need down at sometime. New brakes, suspension, glow plugs and these are the main things. I'll have an oil change everyt 5k as well as this always helps.
