[AlanN]

Yes, sounds good to me

You sure that's off a long nose? just been looking on ebay and the one like yours is described as being the short nose

[AndyJ2506]

I think the short nose one is a bit squarer at the front. The guy I bought it of was selling because he bought the wrong bumper, he needed a short nose one

I fitted the valance off my old granada cosworth bumper and slapped a bit of paint on today. pretty happy with the way it looks now so gonna keep it now gotta get the grille finished off and i've ordered a couple of other parts today so hopefully will have a bit more progress in the next couple of weeks

very nice m8

[AndyJ2506]

Cheers bud. I think some nice fog lights would finish the front off

[gravelrash2004]

I like the way this van is shaping up - good work that man!

[bluecraig0776]

Maybe I was wrong, that does look sweet. Some lights in there and it'll finish it of me thinks

Uploaded with ImageShack.us and its now in having the central locking and electric windows wired up and its having a full closure alarm fitted after hearing about vans getting knicked round here

Had a slight accident in this about 5 weeks ago now so with that and being flat out at work i haven't been able to do much at all. I have however got a couple of snow days off so i have just fitted my series one escort Rs steering wheel with quick release boss and i have taken my dash to pieces so i can spray the panels tom. I have also ordered a couple of port hole style windows from the states and i've bought some skyline rear lights so i am going to have a busy time after crimbo

love how your van looks like a kind of 80s mock up of what a the transit would like
in the future the t4 bumper and t5 lighst give it that look

[AndyJ2506]

not sure if thats a compliment or not
i do have some plans still for the front end but they are secret for now I need to start work on the back of the van first

[AndyJ2506]

i got the dash inserts painted but i can't flatten them yet as i've painted them in rustoleum so it needs to harden for a while so that'll be another job for the xmas break

Also my windows arrived today for the sides so yet another job for xmas, i'm gonna be a busy bee me thinks
