Yes, I had it made but I'm probably taking it off when the body kit is on, or try and get it chromed.

Do the wellers fit inside the arches? I put my wellers from my mk1 onto a mk3 and they stick out by about 1" but yours look further in

Theres about half inch of the tyre sticking out on the rear but I held the body kit in place today and once that is fitted, the wheels will be inside the body.

All I am trying to find now are those quad headlights that you found on ebay but I wasn't on line much then due to personal issues so I missed out.

Interesting cos mine fit fine on the back (narrower axle) but stick out on the front either way you need a good offset like on those wheels to fill out the bodykit!!! make sure you get some piccys on here when its fitted!!

Wasn't too bad but you get no bolts or anything with it.
I used pot rivets on the side then long bolts for front and rear skirts.
Theres a bit of cutting to get the front to fit nicely & I removed the tow hoop from the front.

All I can say is take it slow and lay it around the van before you start drilling & cutting.

so is the van near completion then robo-van ? last update was yrs ago

[BigMac]

well m8 i take my hat off to you what a grand job you are doing i know how hard it is doing the work yourself . i look forward to seeing the van finished BIG WELL DONE

[Robo-van]

It could do with a full respray but I haven't the cash.
I need to fill around the side where the rain has rusted it but guess not much will happen until the weather gets better.

Not posted anything for a while 'cos i've not done much until this week.
But the lights make the van look differant, I think.
