Corvette Stingray?
Yep. I believe that it’s a 7.5litre V8. 1974. Though I didn’t get a chance to speak to the owner about it. Only to tell him that I’ll try not to cover it in sh*t when I install the electrics. He wasn’t bothered, so didn’t shift it.
Work van (plasterer) transformation at the cave today.
Looks great, but serious question. How is it with a ton of plaster on the back ?
Those pictures were taken with the old wheels and tyres and the old suspension in the back, along with the tools and other gear that are always in the van. We’ve actually left the back end about 15mm high relative to the front when measured arch to wheel centre (measured without the old wheels and tyres and suspension, but with the usual tools etc) to allow for load carrying.
Did Chris do the stereo too? I heard that a plasterer’s radio is filthy!
I almost missed WVW . . . . so here it is.

and just for Laughs . . . . my good Chippy Friend from Croatia proving that H&S is more of a guide line than hard facts.
(the irony for those that don't work on building sites is that he decided he was more comfortable standing on that chair than using the ladder he was given, and decided he didn't want to wear his Hard-Hat (even though its part of the sites mandatory PPE)
- the H&S guy was having an absolute melt down)
At least he has his over-shoe protectors on

Even more dangerous if he was a midget....Rules are there to protect you, I'm amazed he didn't die, standing on a chair with no hard hat on, like millions of people do every day.
Follow the government's example - follow the rules!!!!
Well, in a similar vein to the above, I've had the van on quite a restricted and very safety conscious site out west whilst we're pulling fibre in. After being on site a couple of days, the H & S fella turns up, and shows his visible disgust that I didn't have an orange beacon on the van. Threats of removal of permits and his blood pressure elevating, he shows me on page 276 of 700 of the RAMS that all vehicles should have an orange beacon. My bad. £20 later from the Amazonians, I get a super little flashing LED beacon that fits inside the windscreen with suction cups.
I am now safer than ever, and feel my van could also pass for a bit of drive tarmacing, or fixing roofs for vulnerable pensioners. I'm sure the battery will stand this running for a few hours between moves.
