Great looking project, keep up the good work and updates. One question which part is surviving the scrapyard? as most of it looks brand new. Is it the roof vent by any chance? :D

Just had a read through this, I thought jagman's Mk3 was crazy, but this van is next level! Hats off to you for having the vision to get this done. Looking forward to the marriage of the old and new.

Got a bit more done last night. My bulkhead for some reason didn't come with the captive nuts at the bottom for the shock bolts. So had to cut old ones off and just cleaned them up now.

Got the 2 inner wings strengtheners roughly made up last night

And the Easter egg box came in handy for some CAD work haha
