So now I have the whole set

Finally managed to pick up a 130 the other week. Been after one for ages.

Came with 11 months mot, that quite frankly it shouldnt have....



After 20 minutes of getting home it had this lot fitted...






When I picked it up, I didnt check it over. I had commited to it on ebay so I just got in it and drove it home.

Following day, sorting out a few issues, I spotted this wee ditty out of the corner of my eye...



I approached it with nervousness, Was that fibreglass and filler I see before me?

]]

Nope... just cardboard....

This lovely dumb iron is waiting for some love....

But on the positive side, at least it has plenty of ventilation on my legs as I drive it. I do hate getting to hot.

Scratched about in the workshop and found the missing trim panel on the left hand side with a speaker in it, so at least I went from mono to stereo sound. Whoop!



Quickly slipped in one of our dual usb charge sockets. My little girl actually helped! Shes less than 2 and knew how to undo the screws holding the panel in!



And a set of our handles on driver and passengers doors for a bit more leg room.

Bodged on a spare winch on a universal mounting plate until I can find a nice winch bumper.

High fat diet!

Started on the moulds for our new headlight surrounds.

Then was summoned by the boss to take her to her latest vintage event in cumbria. So had to hook up the trailer. It towed like a champ. Really impressed.

I robbed the tufftrek awning / tent off my 110csw as the 130 is going to be a camping vehicle.



And fixed the rear exhaust mount as it was knackered. Ive since repaired the back box!

Oooooo nice

I've got some spare cardboard if it helps

Not jealous.......oh no not even a teeny bit....

Bit o glamping whilst at the wifes vintage event. Our wedding hire business is really starting to take off now. Well proud of her

The 130 is handy for it as it can carry so much of her wares. Just sorting a canopy for it now. Got one sourced in Ireland so going over to pick that up with it shortly.

Is it cereal box? Only Id like to keep it original.

I've made some quick connectors for the inverter, so now it can be swapped between vehicles really easily.



Or can be used stand alone with any 12v source

Did some more scratting about in the workshop and found a long lost set of rdx led side lights and indicators, and a set of crystal headlights. Theyve been there for flippin ages!

Bit of satin spray paint restored the original headlight surrounds to looking half decent. Cant beat free stuff eh

nice ,,didnt realize a 130 was so big in the back, what with a double air bed n that cake,,,, lol nice you dont hang about getting stuff bolted on

I had it kicking about in the workshop bud, its more an excuse to clean out some workshop space!

Cant beat a bit o' camping in cumbria I can recommend a Bell tent if you ever want to start camping. Yes, expensive (though often not as much as some of the "posh" tents out there)

But with the log burner on, its toasty warm, even on the coldest of nights and the 130 provides plenty of space to carry all the gear with

Very jealous! Have several uses for a 130 unfortunately that would require funds!!!!!

I've got some quick set filler lying around due to decorating if that helps with the chassis and bulkhead

Keeping it green?
