lots of progress on the clubvan today, the whole back end is near enough built up, under the rear is painted up, beam on and plumbed in, tank in, lights in, wiring in, doors on with glass, door seals, rear wheels etc etc just taking a break from the heat! couldnt ask for better building weather! :techsupport: will up load some pics but remember folks... keeping the whole completed reveal under wraps until L2B :gimme:

Looks good, grab yourself a set of exterior hinges and it'll look like a Ausi van.

that does look sweet! i kinda got some inspiration from the ausi vans, but also from the fact that a cut and shut van shell turned up at the right price, at the right time, so combined the 2 lol

Fantastic!

That looks well cool... And nobody will be able to miss you!
We were thinking of painting Junker pale blue with an orange roof - kind of like the Gulf Porsche colours.

Welding all done. Not upto your standards, but at least it wont fall off.....

ah mate im over the moon i have her back, gettin on really well with the build up, its about 45% complete already, it helps that i refurbished all the parts needed while the shell was away for paint, just a case of bolting it all up :) ill post up a pic or 2 of the progress

cheers mate! it will definitly stand out, and if anyone does ever crash into me and say they didnt see me, all ill be able to say is ******** lol
pale blue and orange is always a classic combination! and im sure the welding is up to scratch, will have to keep my eyes open for you at shows when yours is done!
