Nearly two years ago, we were commissioned to rebuild a hideous van conversion on a Mk 1 Ruby chassis.
A previous owner had cut off the back end of the saloon body and, seemingly without a lot of thought, had attempted to build an all-steel van body. Crude, ugly and immensely heavy, an early decision was to scrap it and replace it.
There was, of course, never a Mark 1 Ruby van. We decided to adapt one of our standard AVK (Mark 2 Ruby) van bodies to fit the ARQ front end.
This job has been something of a pot-boiler, but is now finished - bar painting - and was collected by the customer yesterday. Satisfaction all round, its seems!
So, to latch onto another current thread, who wants to commission a "Woody"?
Apologies for the commercial!
