Haven't painted step openings as im planning to trim them with grey carpet and refit the plastic trays.
Thanks for all your possitive comments the van is really coming along and I hope to be able to bring it to a show or two along with my mk1 fiesta in tow. Going to the bodyshop again for a few hours tomorrow so might have a few more picture to post soon.

Another taster of how things are going.

Got both rear arches to fit today by using number plate nuts and bolts (plastic)

The inside is the next thing to get attention so will keep you posted on that.

It will be going straight to a mate's work shop after this to have a bulkhead fitted and work area constructed in the rear. As for a cosworth engine well I do have a 2.9 24v sitting in my workshop with ex police gearbox and adaptor plate. Twin turbo is something I have considered for this though.
