new custom parts donated (clear back lights)

Postby Luke » Fri Jan 06, 2012 7:04 pm

big thanks to darren aka camper-man for donating a pair of clear back lights to the project 8) 8)

Image

these will be fitted at the next build 8) i think they will look great with the frozen white colour, also maybe a set of clear front indicators and side repeaters to match would be a good idea :idea:

Another customising idea for the van???

Postby Luke » Sat Jan 07, 2012 6:51 pm

had a spare hour today so i made a start on the bumper 8)

cut the recess out :D
Image

welded in another strip of sheet :D
Image

just to give an idea of how it'll look :D
Image

obviously its not finished it needs a plate on the back and all the excess grinding down and smoothing off, but i'll get round to that soon :D

we will need some number plate lights so if any ones got any they think will be suitable and are willing to donate post up :D
