Well I wasn't happy with a lot of things so I did most of it again moved the engine back,fitted intercooler, rebuilt diff changed the horrible strut top mounts and many many more things so here is a couple of photos to show you were I'm at and a nice battle wound haha

Il explain everything I've done over the last 4 months when it's not so late but hopefully this gets some interest from everyone and keeps me cracking on to finish it. It's been a while since I've been on here, good to be back!!!

Pretty visible

Welcome back mate, vans looking good. Looks like you go some good space to work on it.
Were the standard strut tops hiding under the old ones or did you have to weld in complete new sections?
 
Rhys

your car ultimately your decision, but i think the black will help it be more of a sleeper, and rub salt in the wounds of all the more expensive cars you beat at the lights

Cheers Glenn

Hmmmm i do like the black I think il have to come look at it in person to really get the look. I like how perfectly flat your bumpers sit mine hate fitting

It's hard to believe the car was in that bad a shape compared to what it looks like know.

No pintos for me I'm a twin cam fan hahaha

How she sits can't decide to paint the alloy radiator or cooler. What do people think?

my vote would have to be for all black, and black silicon piping,
also not sure why u guys coolers are much smaller than mine, thought mine was too small.

Hey mate good to meet you today, van is looking good and not long before its back in action.
On a mk2 I personally like grille and everything behind the grille black. Having said that its your car and it really depends whether you want the cooler/piping noticeable or more of a stealthy look.
I vote black for look and stealth.
Cheers
