Coming along well matey. I bet that ambulance wasn't a bad looking machine in that colour when it was first done.

Yeah.... lovely side windows too.... so sad... but you're doing well with your new one anyway mate 8)

What a bargain, I've just been quoted 50 more than you paid for a whole van just to fix my oil leak & cam belt :shock: :shock: :shock:

Is this project still going, haven't seen it on the roads :) Where did you get the sun visor from, and did you fill the rear door bottoms. Also did you cut the windows out yourself?

Ive just got a 00 mk5 transit which is a little worse for ware on the outside, but inside is really nice. Trying to convert to a day van on the cheap :D
