if you need any help just ask away!

had a good day on the van (dodging the rain) today, fitted the double rear seats with welded plates and nuts underneath.
Once that was done the fuel tank was fitted back in place :D with its new fuel lines
also got one side of the seat belts fitted

should be running next weekend :? (weather permitting)

just the transit loom ,exhaust, rad, mounts and power steering pipes to do before the MOT
