apart from some rough looking welds the van doesn't look too bad so far? what's your plans
'The best engine in the world is a vagina. It can be started with only one finger. It is self-lubricating. It takes any size piston. And it changes it's own oil every four weeks. It is a pity that the management system is so f*$king temperamental.'

Welds aren't mine but they have been there a long time,no cracks as yet so ill leave it as is. As for plans,Im going to make it a neat streeter,clean up the engine bay & engine put on some finned alloy bits, go back to metal,paint the original colour (Cataract Grey), Fit an FC sedan rear bar,got a set of 14" Tasman wheels or might go black steelies with whitewalls & ox blood coloured interior.
