Lord O War Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 Random question time but could you tell me the size of the roof panel? There's one on ebay near me but I need to see if it will fit in the van but my roof is 20 miles away so tricky to measure without a really long tape measure. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon R Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 Taken a fair bit of time and effort to get to this point, but you should be rightly proud of what you have achieved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viking Posted March 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 what van you got? have you got a roof rack? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord O War Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 It's a work van so no roof rack and it's a Peugeot Partner not that big. A mate that is visiting tomorrw HAD a transit and that would have been no trouble but they have given him the next model up from mine that is still not quite big enough. Typical! What's really annoying is the roof is only about 10 miles away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking Posted March 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 try hire a van and a man, i got a large dining table a few years ago of ebay, huge thing it was, got a man and a van, 5 mile from blokes house to pick it up, 10 mile to mine, £30, very pleased with that price, either that or carry the ******* home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon R Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 I would be worried about build quality. That is a fair sized ding in the panel, plus a bit of rust, bottom hinge on door looks out of plumb, paint runs, panels seem multi-coloured. Not a patch on Lee's motor.

I don't think there is a comparison on value, as Lee's seems on a far better planet, unless you happen to live in Leigh on Sea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
