Looks good, will look ace with the steelies on after a refurb!
Any thoughts on sticking an ibiza front end on it? I think they look much nicer than the caddy front end.

Yes its maybe an option down the line. I think it has an older style Ibiza grille / lights at the minute anyway.

Next significant expense is getting the wheels sprayed and tyres fitted (although part of that will be offset selling the BBS reps), then theres a bit of funny with it when it starts from cold that i want to get sorted and i think its an electrical problem, so i'll see where i go after that.

Would love something like this as a 3rd vehicle/runaround to use for the dog etc.

Yes, am going to get something set up. Its the maddest thing to drive.

Wife hates it, so i've been trying to "sell" the idea of it to her on the basis of a dog carrier for our two retrievers. Of course had the dogs in for the first last weekend, wooden floor, dogs wouldnt sit down, so we'd retrievers sliding up and down the van with even the slightest acceleration / decceleration. Which didnt go down well with the missus.

So a bit of carpet tacked into the rear is next on the list.

There was a red Caddy van at Ultimate Dubs Telford last week, liveried up "Royal Snail "

Now with powdercoated G60 steels on it, as of yesterday.

Havent even washed it since the bodywork was done, so will get it washed, polished and waxed the week after next when i am off.

Will post up "final" pics then.

Well, I sold the van today.

Was approached a couple of weeks ago by a guy when i came back to it when it was parked and made me a realistic offer for it if i was ever to sell. Decided to let it go as we've a 370z now and two two seaters were a bit restrictive.

Took some photos before it went...











Really enjoyed my time with it and hopefully the work i did will keep it on the road for some years more.

My mate Nik owned that when it was originally matt black with the camo. Shame you sold it, got it looking good.

Love what you did with it, pity it's sold now. What's the lorry lurking in the background?
