Small update. progress by bodyshop has been excellent, Can't fault anything they have done and the workmanship is great they have let me use there space to refit most of the body today, So if the guys at DRG read this thank you very much.

Front doors refitted along with grill and side loader. side windows fitted and new rear lights. Side rails also refitted .

In response to the last qeustion the wheels are Kahn rs-r and they are 18" with 225-45-r18 tyres .used to have a 40 profile but ride was harsh so changed, I have had these for about 12 years and they are not commercial rated but back then the choice of wheels for transits was not good.
