Hey.

today was the first time i'd seen the van in full colour after several tease photos sent about 4pm each day







today i took these after checking out the simple blackouts and going through the door area ones.

[mook]

great stuff ski man!
that looks great, are you going to extend the door blackouts onto the body?
almost a dead ringer of Jennie's!

[the ski man]

yeah thats why i was down there tonight, needed to run through their placement and thickness etc, as it is, his painter f'd up the doors and blacked out too much, oh well, looks like his painter has a big day tomorrow

I can't believe how similar our vans are, you even have our mags...are you sure you are not sneaking over to NSW and taking pics of our van?.... the only difference I can see is the mirror is still in your van, ours is not......Looks great

Still got some work to do on getting it out to the upholsterer to finish up, but saturday i spent 6 hours at the workshop putting fiddly bits on the van. installed rebuilt steering column, window surrounds and front n rear bumpers.

the bumperettes took ages as the rare spares tailgate bump rubber bolts come with a nut n bolt thats only just long enough to get through to the other side of the mount, not to mention that the mount is threaded and you shouldnt need a nut, obviously RS didnt know this as the bolt supplied is smaller in dia than the original mount hole too.

here's the pic:
