thanks for that ive already painted some off the roof cream (pictures this evening), hoping to get the welding on the floor pan done this evening and get the seat back in ive decided on colur scheme for it.
its not as bad as the rubbish sherpa i did last year although i had all winter to do it. they are very cramped and narrow compared to transit especially for a tall person.
