That is a lot of love to give a panel van. What is your plan for the bus once done? Camper/work van?
Really amazed that so much love could go into a bus without a westy badge on it. Great work. I've got a rusty syncro you can do for me if you like. Tim.

Its just a project that I have got a little carried away with lol.
I will put a camper interior in the back when I have finished, I think the panel vans looks cool when they are done right. I have always wanted to own a t3 that is like its has just rolled out of the show room so that's what I am aiming for. Going to do some more work on her tonight so will post some more pics later.

Panel vans deserve just as much TLC as Westies, but maybe I'm just biased [:-)]
Keep up the good work!! |

It came with the older style round headlights that came on the LTs I want to fit them so she looks more like a T3 when I get around to it.
