That actually looks quite cool (certanly different)

for the money you want to spend on wheels/tyres/trims why dont you just get the original's powder coated in "Chrome" effect ive seen some done and from a few paces they did actually look like chrome 8) 8) 8)

If you have a compressor(or can borrow one) just do it yourself, a gun (with the flexi extension hose) only costs a tenner :!: lots on here use a mixture of wax and gearbox oil for the behind the scene's places and i would say add a pint of bitumen roofing paint ( the wax and oil stop the butumen drying) it sets to a semi dry flexible coating :!: it will dry eventually but revitalises with a fresh application of wax a couple of years later :D

if you wait for the cold snap to to pass I can do a proper anti rust job on it for you, inside & out!!!! all the hard to get to places not for megabucks either, you'll have to get stuck in with the wire brush with me though!!! bit of prep!!!! where are you in the uk, I know somewhere that can powdercoat ya wheels cheap also!!!!

I was tempted when I seen that camper, its gotta be the most practical solution between camper & a transit that can do some work if needed! crewcabs are very handy!!!!

would look awesome on 16" rims though!!!!! 8)

Just needs a tiny modification to the sleeping area above crew cab. A deflector or summit similar to stop wind getting in the gap and causing huge drag

WOW, That's one of the best vans I've ever seen :shock: Nice and clean too by the looks of it. I wonder how many of them were made? Nice one!

Ahh, So is that a single wheel axle with double wheel hubs? In the other pics the rear wheels look really wide.
