here are some pictures of the van as it stand today,when i got it it did not have any interior at all,

need to have some good weather to start work on the paint on the body, only rust it has is about 5cm long by 1cm wide on the passenger side bottom back side of the wheel arch

I've put rally pack front chrome bars on and the chrome hubcaps and wheel trim on the saab 15in chasser rims plus modified a XR falcon chrome fuel spill tray to fit on as well

thought i would have it completely painted by now but we didnt have a summer here this year, been so miserable

haven't posted anything for awhile, the car gave me the ****s so i left it for a while, after all the work ive done on the suspension, one of the new shocks i bought of ebay is faulty making the car bounce all over the place while drive, its quite unbearable

anyways just started taking the strut out once again damaging the powder coating

trying to seperate the ball joints

a speaker wall I made from 12MM MDF cut to size to fit under the back floor behind the seats

trial fitted to the spare van first to make sure everything was cut correctly before carpeting, looks pretty good to me

then trail fitted to the van, im very happy with the way it looks and fits, just need to carpet it now

started sanding the rear doors, finding no bad surprises, no bog no rust, just little dents around where the hinges go, as most of these doors get from people trying to push the doors open more then they can go

happy with how good they are
