couple of update photos, haven't touched the van for a long time ,been a little bit more motivated after watching EKV84us project .

Had a speaker hole in firewall that i thought i might use but needed a proper cover. so i used a headlight bucket trimmed the flange off and welded over hole

decided to lower the dash abit but keep original guage cluster.also dropped the steering colum mount point in the dash, got 35mm drop with a bit of a fiddle,
now i dont have the steering wheel sticking above the dash

Cheers Axeman

Cool car axeman. I thought my 3.5 inch chop was radical. But you hit a new high...

looks great. Good luck.

Good to see the van progressing Axeman, and definately a good move removing the quarter vents with that chopped roof

they'll be funny windows to wind up and down half a rotation in either direction
