Mark, what colour have you painted the inside of the cab and the inside of the rear carring compartment? Can you take a couple of more pictures and even from underneath ?. I have lost courage in doing mine and walk a way from it as i stop and start to do something. By seeing your van and others who have finished the job, i start and get my enthusiasam back.
Thanks, and take care of it. 8)
