Hi all... New owner

Evening all

Just bought my first HiJet... is a 1.3i 16v X reg 2000 van with nearly 108,000 miles. Rot free but previously used for gardening. Dash & interior is pretty well ripped apart. All panels dented!

Its an MOT failure which i'm half way through completing - just emissions & rear brake imbalance to look at when I get chance.

Maybe a camper or day van conversion. Looking to lower a couple of inches, deep dish rims and prob rat it. Not everyones taste but its my mid life crisis!

Previously into classic Mini's from late 80's through to mid noughties.

I'll be reading through the forum posts for ideas and knowledge & no doubt will be asking a fair few questions along the way.

Welcome aboard. Tis kinda quiet round here at the moment, think everyone's queuing at the shops. Top camper info is in Raggy's Skylark thread, but there are others. Good luck and post some pics when you can.

Hello merewickmotors!

Welcome! -I look forward to seeing a pic of your truck! and any future posts of your conversion.

Hope you are using this time to get underneath her - good luck when it comes to MOT time.
