Don't spam, you'll get shot!

Looking forward to seeing a few pics though. Vans are ace although I'm guessing its not an original van being a 1litre?

Cool, never realised that they did a 1litre van - everydays a school day.

Would look good in Royal Mail/BT colours, with standard bumpers, lowered on some vauxhall alloys. But i guess thats been done to death lol.

Each to their own, whatever floats your boat. Good luck!

As long as you enjoy building and learn from this then feck all the negativeness.

Not my style though. :)

^^^ agreed,

no matter what people say your still going to do what you want and to me i respect that more than people who ask WHAT they should do to it, i don't like your plans like but still its your motor lol

a lot of people who say they hate it or wont like it and should keep it standard have probably done the same at some point in there life or worse, at least your doing something with it and not just stripping nova and selling for parts all time and scrapping whats left and cant get rid of.

good luck bud :thumb:
