Hello all newbie here well to this forum not french car ownership previous barges are ax gt saxo 1.1 sx saxo vtr and current skip is my beloved c15 1.9d champ which cost me 130 quid from eBay as it was vandalised by some young rapscallions that the previous owner had run ins with so rather than pay good dollar for a respray I am keeping as is and ratting the said van.

I have added the obligatory side glass visa bonnet rear doors and roof rack

[van ordinaire]

Now I monitor sites for C15's & I don't remember a £130 one, there was a white one with a red bonnet but it wasn't that one, I'm sure. Still well done for saving another one & good luck with it.

Jim will be watching the transformation with intersest, while I'm not bothered about losing the shed of the time/place/event title - 'cos we don't have one!

Thanks, I did submit a full reply to this during the day but, as so often happens, it just disappeared into the ether & I can't be bothered to do it all again; not that you've actually missed anything.

I don't know whether to respray or leave as is I mean all these marks and graffiti blots are the vans original history

[van ordinaire]

I'd leave as is (but no one who knows my C15 will be surprised at that) it is, as you say, part of its history, adds to its character, is an essential part of your reason for saving it - & being a white van in France, it's only a matter of time before it's redecorated for you.
