Cheers, they are standard 10" Steel wheels but with the rim pinstriped red and white walls fitted to the tyres

[creakyjaws5533]

Looking really good, love the savage switches, wheels look great too, well all of it is fantastic to be honest

Thought I'd share a bit of how the van is getting on now that she's on the road.

Mechanically she's doing very well, no breakdowns yet although I did get not one but two flat tyres on the way up to Peterborough a couple of weeks ago thanks to the replica steelies not being very well made, but now I'm running on inner tubes which has fixed that issue.

 

If you have watched the video you may have noticed the load space was missing from it.

That was because I had not finished it haha. I have now with shelves, lighting, floorboards and a sound system.

 

Not a great picture but shows the lights pretty well.

 

You can see her at shows soon!

What a great looking van you should be proud of it :) if my pickup comes out half as good ill be thrilled

[Magnetagz]

I was emailed by a guy called Terry the other day asking about the paint code but unforunatly the reply email addess must have been wrong and I can not reply so Terry, hopefully you see this. The paint is a Rover colour called Charcoal Metallic 2c
The code I have is BLVC1207.
I recommend the colour it has so much depth and shimmers just the right amount. The van should be in next month's Mini Magazine so you'll be able to the paint in much clearer professional pictures in that rather than my camera :).

All the best,

Connor

I look forward to reading about it :)

 Looking good Connor.  I'm following progress on TM, but have only just found this thread.  As I've said before it looks great, job well done.
