Took all the stickers off
Washed n polished
Blacked bumpers n plastics
Put some nice wheel trims on
Ordered a reverse aid.
Ordered some magnetic signs
Threres a few marks and blobs of    rust to sort out
Needs a new backbox n tailpipe
Down pure freedom in the week to get a tank and tap outlet.
Poles fit very nice so all  is looking good.

There a great vehicle, especially the double cab, I sold mine last year, never had a problem with it. Bought it new and had for over ten years.
Only reason I sold it was not enough space for all I had to carry.

I had a l200 last year 35-40 miles to a tenner, not bad if your mileage is low. very good drive though and very reliable

I can see why you got rid of it now mate! I was running a galaxy before, 2.3 petrol, doing same mileage as that. Its a killer!

Swapped it last year got a little 205 van does 70-75 miles to a tenner, 1.4 diesel. I share it with my son whilst hes at uni saves him around £1200  year in insurance. Not a very good deal for me but things you do for your kids

Yea i bought a pure freedom trolley of the world famous wagga, never got on with it. Bought a couple of backpacks and gave it a good go for a couple of years. I can see where it could work well but it didnt suit most of my rounds. Im very quick and fit so when i took refilling and van moves in to account i was no faster on majority of my rounds. Although i was safer i didnt think all the hastle was worth it. Maybe when i get older(im 37) and less mobile i might give it another go, but im happy trad for now.
