Mk1 CI just about finished and I'm getting bored.

Rather than upload a load of pics the story of my rebuild is here Http://www.baconsdozen.co.uk/motorhome/transit.htm The page is pretty much up to date apart from the engine.I've just rebuilt it with gas flowed high compression heads,gas flowed inlet and heavy duty bearings.The end result pulls well and its nice and quiet when hot,hopefully the mpg will be a bit better now that it can pull in OD top. Now getting bored cos I can't think what else to do to the poor old girl,the bodywork could do with a bit of fiddling but I'd rather weld up great big holes than mess about with little rust bubbles that you can't see from a distance anyway.
Any suggestions?.

That van looks really nice. I came across your website about a year now and thats when I decided I wanted one. If you rember you told me about this forum. I like your windows better mine like any chance of a picture of the rear interier layout?
