this is beautiful! love it. Really can't wait to get my van interior up to something like this! and that exterior... so nice. 

 

How do you like the fender mirrors? my mirrors are currently on the doors and aren't that great, was wondering if you find the fender mirrors better. I also noticed the mirror on your A pillar as well, does this help?

 

thanks!

I really like the wing mirrors, I find they have good vision of the road, much better than the door mirrors in my opinion. The mirror on the A pillar is an over taking mirror, that too is good as it gives you a better idea of distance away from the car behind you.

Not posted much as autumn is here now, the van is in the garage having some TLC. so far bonnet is off and prepared for staying. Engine is next to be removed so I can fully clean it. Engine bay will get a re spray. Lots of niggerly bits of body work to be done too.

Possibly in 2years the van will get a full strip down and re spray back to pagent blue which is the vans factory colour.

Will get pics up of what I've been up too asap

I managed to get the van in mini magazine, I have stored the magazine safely away so until I can find it and post the rolling pictures are what featured.
