Hi there, power steering seems fine, all ok and big improvement over standard.
I want to take my van to Gatwick and park it in the Transit lounge!

Love the colours I'm looking for ideas for my new mk2 how comes you went black around the windscreen. I was thinking of some funny sign writing that changes when you slide the doors back. Like top gear did with there racing BMW diesel. Great job mate will turn heads wherever you go first class. :mrgreen:

It looks even better with the writing on it now. Please don't lower it too much it will not look the same lowerd to the max.

Hi there, thanks everybody for your comments, the sign writing is vinyl, it's just easier to change or modify it later. As for the ride height, it'll be pretty much staying the same, it will be getting used for servicing my rally car so lowering it isn't really an option and i quite like it's ride height in the photos. Cheers
