BROWNYS V6 MK3

[BROWNYS V6]

i had to dig deep and buy a pair of treads for the rear end, was gonna leave the rfx alloys on the front, but my ocd is kicking in, i cant run odd wheels, so im putting the wellers back on the front aswell.been cleaning up the rims where the bead sits on one of the front wheels as its a bit cruddy, got to get the other tyre stripped off tomorrow hopefully, so i can get that one cleaned up too. found a pair of 195 70 14's in the storage facility that id forgotten about, so might chuck them on the rear, and put the 2 new 195 60's on the front, might treat the ol banger to a new pair of front wheel bearings while im at it
oh and i fitted one of them spinny things to the passenger front seat, so when were camping we got another seat to sit on in the back

so a bit of an update, weve been abusing the van recently as a crap carrier, numerous trips to the tip, building materials and all sorts, the inside of the back is like a builders van our last run out in it, it decided it was pissed off with the abuse and spat its bottom coolant hose off dumping all its antifreeze all over the floor, nice
just hope it doesnt have a head gasket issue, as race season is approaching and we need it for towing/camping duties

the latest update is, no it does,nt have headgasket issues, we made it to pod and back recently so all good, i have decided to chuck the square tube axle back on, as my hybrid atlas is still unfinished, i thought it had an issue a while back, so we swopped it for my spare atlas axle, only to find all the noises were coming from the knackered gearbox. as ive been running odd wheels (cant stand odd wheels ) for a while, i will be refiting the type 34 so i can refit the 9 inch revo's, fingers crosssed it doesnt go to sh*t. i will be attacking the paint with my electric polisher, as ive just done the escort and it came up good, so the van will get the same,
