Trouble is, they go for a price that the "wouldn't pay that for a MK5" brigade, don't want to pay :!: and put people like yourself, off :!:

I know what you mean :lol:
BUT :!:
This wasn't a full on respray :!:

It was more to tidy up the van for now and get rid of those rotten old front wheel arches :!:

Ian will be doing further work on it :!: :wink: But remember, this is my work van and can't afford to be without it for too long :!:
And didn't want to mark/damage martynx's van with a roof rack :!: :shock: :wink:

Thats a great job his done there, did he paint the inside of the wings roughly

I dunno, your standards are pretty high :!: :wink:

Yep, inside the wings he was gonna spray black stone chip (I think) but I requested diamond white :D

Well Ian did say that the wings will probably outlast the rest of the van :!: :shock: :lol: :lol:

So when is this EPIC supposed to pack up :shock: exactly :?: :P


I will add at this stage, that it was gonna all be steam cleaned :!: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:
So I left strict instructions that there is to be NO steam cleaning and that I'd rather clean it myself :!: :wink:

And as I'll be stripping out the the engine bulkhead for the next project :wink: :wink: I might just be able to tie it all in :wink: :wink:
