van has once again been stripped down to nothing, bare metaled and still have found no rot anywhere, so no welding needed, its still on its original steps and sills, i cant believe it, not 1 panel has been replaced!! i felt a bit naughty cutting the original front wings and rear arches up, in order to fit my wide arches..but it will be worth it, have made engine mounts and cut out the tunnel well, and have the engine, now on steering rack and coils, need to work out brakes, not sure what to use, gonna have to be good to stop 530 hp!!, need to decide on colour, do i go green again or change it, its all about the decisions!! do i put all the kids seats in the back or just have a couple up front? do i put the front splitter back on? and i need some new wheels, might plate the last set of windows, dont know yet!!
any info or ideas on where i might get bits from is welcome, i am not allowed to touch it now for 4 weeks though because i am getting married on 25th june, so think once the wedding is done and dusted i am going to be very busy!!
