yeah the vent is to let bad smells that may be in the back of the van out i think; ie a fish monger or similar.

 

wonderful work; great photos!   looking forward to seeing this all come back together  :gimme:

Rear subframe in, radius arms on, fuel tank in, petrol pipe and brake pipes.

Not sure if it will be MOT'd for Gaydon but the Van will be there at current progress!

Edit:

If you are planning to be at Gaydon then please post your name/username in here so that if we are talking on Sunday I will actually have an idea of who you are :D

Not going to be at Gaydon unfortunatly.   Are you planning to take it to any other shows this year?

Cracking job on the paint Chris.

 

Looks like it just rolled out the factory.

Interior is nearly ready to be fitted, tomorrow is going to be a late night getting it sorted for Gaydon. Roof is sprayed and being left to harden.

I might pop some pictures on later tonight, if not then you'll all have to wait for the Gaydon pictures!

No, your eyes weren't deceiving you - the Van wasn't at Gaydon.

Still missing a door, windows, haven't done the compounding on the paint and various electrical oddities mean it was still a mile away from showing standard.

See you all at Uttoxeter or Stanford!

Yes, I did miss you :(  I was a bit disappointed as your van looks great.  Still, I will see you and it at Uttoxeter or Stanford.  The wait will be worth it!   :-)

I now it sounds bad but when is Stanford Hall Chris? (Don't matter I looked it up September)

 

It's my local show and would love to see the Van.

Would be good to see you there, I will be the tall guy stretching out his legs after squeezing into the Van for 2 hours.

The clutch works, the engine runs, the tracking is sorted...
