Loving the van, wish i had got a van now, but stuck with my estate

If you look closely you can still see the oil on the floor from the White one...

Only problem I'm finding with the Van, is blooming parking it!!!! only a rear veiw Mirror, and a very roughly placed wing mirror...

What welding needs doing? Please dont let it turn into a tale of woe like the last one! You did forget one thing from the list though:
