couple of things i need to clarify on my mk2 restoration

1, was the area around the windscreen painted a matt black or in the same grey as the dash? and does anyone know the paint code or a similar colour.

2, where did the rear number plate go, as mine is a cab and chassis did it go under the lights on the left or right hand side.

number 1 yes it was! number2 i am not shure!

yes it was what mark a matt black or in the same grey as the dash?

[madmark]

it was the same paint as the dash , most were painted in the vans life to mat black but in 1984 (plasitc grill) the suround was grey as the dash!
so basicaly 1978-84 satin black
1984-86 grey!

anyone know what side the plate went?

Plate went in the middle on Mk2...R/H/S on Mk1

if you look on this photo of a van i had a wile ago you can see the colour matches the dash ,this was original paint!
but i think it had faded abit in the sun!


this van was orginal paint at 1900miles you can see the grey!
