    Buying my old Vehi-cross back

    Hi everyone,
    Many many years ago I used to post here on this very helpful forum. I had to sell my blue VX because I had a very large tax bill to pay. So I had to sell the VX to help pay for it but as fate would have it it's been advertised again so I'm in the process of buying it back. I plan to get the whole car airbrushed as a futuristic urban assault vehicle like the one you may have seen pictures of. It will be like meeting a long lost friend again.

    Awesome, love it. Hope it cost you a lot less than this guy spent to get his love back.

    awwwwww.....

    A post like this is rare, but when I see one... It hits home to me...

    It makes me happy because I can't imagine how it felt to part ways with your VX to begin with, but I know that as soon as you sit in and drive away, you will again breathe

    I have such a love for the VX that it will NEVER and yes I mean N E V E R go anywhere else until I die and pass her down in the family.

    I would give up my 103" HD 3D TV, the xboxes, the high tech audio systems, hell I would give up literally almost anything in my home (except for my dog my best friend)...if it came down to it, my dog, my VX and I would live on the streets lol

    Cool! Great story and result. There have been a few air-brushed specimens...I'm thinking more in Russia? Which design are you shooting for?

    I think the one that inspired me was possibly Russian it looks to have panels riveted together and rocket launchers.
    I might be going a little bit further but don't want to ruin the car as they are wacky enough standard.

    The last time I got parts from a very helpful place StCharles Isuszu are they still a good place for parts/

    Hi Tom,
    I had it 2003 with only 13K miles on it, in those days in the U.K. a company called International Motors dealt with Isuzu and I had a real battle with them as they refused to recognise it in the U.K. and they went out of their way to be awkward and unhelpful, this made me more determined to run it so I took off all of the Isuzu badges and had some really nice Lunar Rover badges made so I told everyone who asked that it was a Lunar Rover.
    It's only done 50K miles to date because the last owner works abroad and he has sent me the details of the MOT number so I have been able to do a proper check on it's mileage history.
    I hope to go up this week and get it.

    Picked it up today and have given it a good clean, looks just like the day I sold it. It's like having an old friend around again only showing 50000 miles which has been verified.

    I expect this belongs in the technical questions but it seems the heater/air-con system seems to run flat out. trying to get any adjustment in the speed has no results I've taken the dash apart but the unit Zexel 897100 1960 5037221202 76924 is sealed and I'm inclined not to pull it apart any suggestions
