I've decided that it's time to sell my HA Van, not that I really want to do so, it's just that I'm running out of space after buying another vehicle recently.
HA Van 130 AAC 295X 10 cwt (1981) in Cargo Blue.
On the road, MOT due in February 2015, Tax expires end of February 2015. £145 a year to tax.
62731 On the clock, not on the original engine though.
5 Previous keepers, including myself. (V5 in my name)
Van is located in Tadley, Hampshire.
The list below indicates all of the work I've done and had done to make the van roadworthy.
Full Service, a couple of times.
New Alternator Bracket
New Ignition Parts
All Breather and Coolant hoses replaced along with new Radiator
New exhaust downpipe and back box & chrome tailpipe finisher
New steering rack with track rod ends
New Headlights and wiring, new rear fog light
New Rear Bumper & Bracket
New front brake shoes fitted along with new handbrake cables
New Windscreen Seal & Chrome Trim
Tappets Adjusted, runs as sweet as a nut
Bodywork wise
Front floorpan has been repaired by removing all the rot and holes, all is now solid and painted
Gearbox crossmember mounting points have been renewed, all rot removed, fully welded and treated
Front Chassis rail sections have been strengthened
Drivers seat mounts renewed
Drivers front lower sill section renewed
There's no filler on this van anywhere
Jobs still to do
Find a new or good second hand Drivers side wing and possibly both doors (I have a new near side wing, off side door skin and soon, a new off side inner wing) after fitting all these panels and a repsray the van would be near concourse, which is what I was striving towards, although I'm being quite picky with it.
Fit the new interior I've bought, along with some retro rexine seats that came from an earlier van.
The van is great to use as it is, which is what I've been doing with it whilst searching for the parts to complete the restoration that I wanted to do. Below are a couple of pictures of the van which I took at this years Holsworthy show in Cornwall.
I have lots of spare parts for this van which I've amassed over the last two years of my ownership which would be available at seperate negotiation, like spare engine, gearbox, new fuel tank, all of the aforementioned panels, service parts the list is endless. Although I will include some within the purchase price.
