thanks mate, appreciate your comment, taking for ever because im on the pension as i have cerebral palsy, and cant afford to have professionals doing the work, and its my passion and my past time, not the best work but i know i do everything myself on it 

last few pictures i took of the van not long ago
 
with my other girl, both are daily drivers

Great thread, enjoying the read. Bummer about photobucket its ruined many peoples threads and how to's.
Its come along way, theres something about the van movement that brings out the DIY in people, I've got alot respect for that being a self taught tinkerer myself.
The commodores not bad either
Keep on vanning Drew.
