not sure as yet about the law but it passed the mot with them on there ,, ive still got some work to do on the rims
facing the rear to reduce the offset, hence reducing the width .. saying that tho i had a notoriously keen trafic cop behind me
today for about 3 miles and they never stopped me ,, wich is suprising really cos they usually do :oops:

that looks smart 8) how about flaring the arches rather than reducing the width :?:

does the sliding door hit the back wheel :?:

yeah the sliding door hits the wheel ,, it hasnt botherd me to much ,, and with regards to the welding ,,
im juss using this van as a template before i get a better van in a few months ,, so i will more than likely break this one
or remove all the goodie,s and weigh it in ,, gotta do something with the arch,s tho ,, rust! and flaring maybe ,, will see how much time ive got
cheeRS for your comments ,, :o
