Morning,

This is the van as i bought it, it has a few PNG stickers on it already, does anyone recognise it?

The paint is shocking, its VERY orange peely. So im stripping it all off and getting it redone asap.

As for the interior, because somebody liked orange, i am also stripping that.

I am going for the stripped out look with a cage, no carpets, no door cards, ect i might even look around for a flocked dash

I am very interested in peoples thoughts and options though,
Thanks steve

The orange touches used to be really well done imo (towards the end, not that white an orange suede, it's shocking lol) looks like most of the decent bits have been pulled out though :(

Guy worked at Bentley IIRC? Knew someone in every department to teach him how to stitch the steering wheel, trim interior bits etc

its going to look completely different once ive finished........well you never finish really!

but to be fair its not the guy i got it from, the coating on the dash is coming off, as is the coating on the knobs too

i quite like the stripped look, and with it being a derv it really suprises people lol, i had a bmw 320d try and close a gap on me and cut me up, that didnt last long, i gave him a little nova derv shaped suprise lol

Is it a genuine van saw it earlier and the rear window panels looked a bit wired was driving past at the time though so didn't get a proper look, but was probably just the paint tbf

I cant belive this is still going. It must be 5 years since we sold it andy(windfreak) and it had had some work when we sold it and i know andy did some work on it. Glad its still going tho.
