Re: folding step

Not being quite as tall as Peter Crouch (bet he's glad he doesn't still play for a certain team at the moment), the step up to the van can sometimes feel like climbing Kili. Obviously there are FAR cheaper options, but I've always thought these were kinda cool and wondered if anyone has fitted some...

Re: New seats

I'll probably get told off for this, but as I'm now selling my Syncro Doka (wife's impending redundancy), I've also got 5 Half Leather/Alacantara MR2 seats that are no longer required, if anyone fancies this conversion.

Re: New seats

Brilliant stuff, I've been collecting the half-leather MR2 seats since seeing this and will be fitting 4 of them in my Doka. Will update when I get started (when I've finished the Bay).

Improving Fuel Economy?

Hi folks, '92 Doka 2.1 Syncro. Now, I know the obvious answer to the question of "How do I improve my fuel economy?" is ; a) Dont drive it b) Sell it etc .. but what can I do to make it more efficient? I've just seen a leap from 17mpg to 20mpg by changing the rusted-to-buggery exhaust, and...

Re: Paint Your Wagon - with a roller!

I'm about to get myself a Doka that's going to need some rust treatment and paint at some time shortly, and am seriously considering this option. 1 question; can you paint over the Rustoleum with rattle cans, ie if I wanted a single colour base then added a camoflage pattern with rattle cans? Cheers...

I too am thinking of using this stuff... how do you go about preparing say, a pretty good paned with a deepish, slightly surface rusted scratch in in it? Clean, treat, fill then paint?
