looking good, shame the coupe didnt have leather, didnt some vans have rear seats as standard? any plans to line the back?

I don't like full leather seats, my mate's a car trimer so i'm having the center's of
the seats done in something not to sure what yet I have got a lining kit that will be capeted and fitted last

[Dave Broomfield]

Well here's a little update first of the coupe





And now with most of the carpets and seats and dash in


The new gaz kit

And one with the gaz kit fitted., not very happy with how low it is this is on the highest setting i think it needs bigger springs

This is what happens when i jack the van up not good


Their has been a lot of work you can't see like the petrol tank and all the wiring looms and the door looms had the be changed so did all the locks and the steering column its been a had week lmao never again

Looking sweet dave another sneaky van, ride hieght is nice on the back, My van is low looks ace but being a roofer any weight in the back just kills it lmaolmao..

Sad to see a coupe turbo end up like that in favour of a white van...sorry mate but you should have your hands cut off!

[Kev_G]

seems a shame as looked a clean coupe but the van is flying along

I was wondering how long it would take before you'd be getting your hands dirty again Dave! Looks like it will be a cracking project.

I had to cut to holes in the rear aches when i put the rear seats in the van but it would not take much work to sort this out, it would be a good track day toy for some one but it will be scraped if no one wants it

[big e]

[Vanweez]
