mk2 crew bus project

Postby mk2bus » Thu Jan 20, 2011 12:07 am

well thought i would start a progress thread as work will be starting on the transit very shortly [xr4 pushed aside once again]
i recently paid 250 for the van after it had been left in a corrner to rot for 5 years and this is how it looks now [if the pics work] i have big plans for this van and have just orderd some of the panels
