Foxer Posted April 19, 2013 Author Posted April 19, 2013 (edited) Thanks everyone for the comments. Tomorrow I'm driving it, rust and all, to NNL East ... gonna try for 85 on the NY Thruway! If you see any pieces of blue on the road please pick up and look me up in Wayne! Edited November 25, 2013 by Foxer
Foxer Posted March 30, 2017 Author Posted March 30, 2017 (edited) This is a bit late, but on the way back from NNL East 3 years ago the van took a little beating ... had a blowout on the NY Thruway with run flat tires and had to get it towed to the Mini dealer in Albany. It did go the 50 miles flat, but I'll never get any run flats again ... can't buy any at tire dealers! The rear suspension and body to frame needed to be re-glued, not too bad really. It's now sitting proudly on my daughter's mantel. Edited August 10, 2017 by Foxer
redneckrigger Posted April 9, 2017 Posted April 9, 2017 Nicely done Mike! As you have said, it is lots of fun and very rewarding to do a replica of a 1:1 vehicle once owned!
Modelbuilder Mark Posted April 10, 2017 Posted April 10, 2017 Not sure how I missed this one. Very cool.
Tommy Isbister Posted May 1, 2017 Posted May 1, 2017 Mike, This is one of the best builds I've seen in a long while. It takes a lot of talent to build a daily driver and make it look that realistic. There's nothing more satisfying to me than to build something that's been used and abused.Tommy
Slotto Posted May 3, 2017 Posted May 3, 2017 Great job on the van. I love the rust spot and inspection sticker. Very convincing!
unclescott58 Posted May 28, 2017 Posted May 28, 2017 Wow! Very cool. Looks like so many real vans you use to see running around back in the day. I love the interior and it's contents. Great job.Scott
Foxer Posted July 8, 2017 Author Posted July 8, 2017 I fixed all the Photobucket links to Fotki, but I'm not looking forward to fixing all the WIP's 16 pages!
