Thats very clean and shiney, very nice indeed

You making it into a tipper?

[ianedwards]

cheers.

yea its going to be a tipper.

I can finish the tipper points and the frame for the bed but i need to find some transit tipper gear so i know where all the brackets and bits will fit.

should come in handy for all sorts of stuff.

im pretty happy with it, its coming together bits are starting to look like bits of things, instead of piles of rust dotted about the place.

Nice. Looking forward to seeing this tipper bed build as it comes together.

Interparcel gave me some good quotes to collect a transfer box and bring it to me.

£7.50 but I had to ask the fella nicely to pack it and put a address sticker on it.

Just be a bit sparing with the description of whats in the package as they wont take anything that has contained oil unless fully flushed out.

Maybe "van tipper mechanism"

looking good mate, love the idea of a sj tipper that will turn a few heads for sure

[ianedwards]

yea, should be good, having trouble getting the pump ect tho.

won the item, paid via paypal cos i was having it collected.

rang the guy to arrange collection, sorted that out.

then he said how are you going to pay i want cash.

ive paid via paypal i said, nah dont do paypal he said how about a bank transfer - no chance.

**** i thought. id be out of pocket for the pump ect and collection if he messed me about.

now im waiting to get my money back and im going to have to drive and get it.
600 miles there and back.

All sellers on ebay have to accept paypal. Been that way for a few years now.

If he wont accept it tell him you will find one elsewhere. Im sure he will soon change his mind!
