Project VAN!

[Th0m45]

im sure i see this van for sale somewhere the other night

nope :/ you wont see this for sale anywhere for a long time

Great work so far, i'm itching to see what this coupe bumper looks like on the van.

thanks mate yeah im itching to get the damn thing on!lmao

[Th0m45]

Time for a wee update i think

Van is currently being used by my step-mother while her car is forsale. Any locals dont wavelmao

Iv ordered some Insignia Washer jets, hopefully arrive and be fitted tomorrow soppesed to be a good cheap mod

The ply arch boxes were different sized due to the arched being different on both sides for some reason? anyway as im fussy... i made a new box so they are the same will fit tomorrow. hopefully ply the roof and carpet the whole lot sometime.

Bought some new Wheels White 17" Pro-Race 2

A good mate bought these a year ago and stored them away, kept asking hime about them and he finally decided to sell me them

They need new tyres, 1 is bald, 1 i might get away with for a while and the other 2 are 50profilelmao they are needing painted aswell as somebody attacked them with an earosol. will trial fit them tomorrow to see what like

arch boxes


WHEEEEEEEEEEEEELS

[Th0m45]

Never got round to trial fitting the new alloys or doing my arch boxes tonight, theres always tomorrow

Scuttle pannel off


Washer jets

[Th0m45]

Threw my arch boxes in today, about time reallylmao

existing one


and my own made to match

[Th0m45]

Trial fitted the Pro-Race 2s on today. Pretty chuffed with how they look

They will need spigot rings & spacers before they go on though. Front ones are about 1mm from the calipers and the backs are in a bit too much..

Any spacer size recomendations?




Few of how they look aswell




Also removed my bump strips to paint them, they are prepped now, will paint them sometime

[M Beirne]

[aaronpicksley]
