well had a week of doing absolutly nothing on the van
due to getting another piece of steel in my eye (bloody painful yet again )
so it looks like its going to be a no show for the nats
on the plus side it will give me a lot more time to get things right for transitmania
shame to miss the 40th nats but cant be helped :( :( :(

exhaust has been thrown together for the test (ill make a full system when i got more time)
started today to box the bottom of the side skirts in as didnt really like the idea of them
catching all the crap from the road besides that they look a lot neater
so progress is looking up lol

If it was class 4 before it still will be... its based on the MAM of the vehicle... and unless its over 3000kg (or a minibus) it will be class 4.
