That looks really nice

Paint job looks spot on too.

How narrow is your beam? I presume you're sticking with the bus 15's.

Ye the painter has done a realy good job, very pleased

Beam is a slamwerks 4"1/2" narrowed one, realy good quality and Ye there 15" steels but being removed very soon for these

Ah, I see, that makes sense then. I don't really 'get' severely narrowed beams with steelies. 2" looks OK but more than that and they look too tucked IMHO.

With lots of alloys though, it kinda makes sense because of the offsets.

i love to crazy tuck on narrowed beams but just gone off the steels which is the only reason I'm changing to alloys I wouldn't go any narrower tho

That is a tasty looking bus Ash.
I like the look of the steels with no caps on and the yellow lenses look awesome, but then I would say that.

Having heard the delays with birth certificate I'm going to see if I can get away with just a pic of the m-code and the decoded print out. I don't have the patience to wait over 12 weeks for one...Plan is to post it off tomorrow hopefully.

cheers for the comments bud, I to like the steels and no cap look but the fronts need shot blasting and coating as they don't seal very well, so got the BRM's while I get round to them

I've no m-plate or US title so I need the birth cert to prove the van is what it is, I've all the import docs ready to go, gotta say tho I'm getting fed up now with it been so long, will just have to look forward to nxt yr init now, suppose I can treat it to some salaries front and rear plus a rack over the winter

Finally got the floor down in the back, and the R&R bed sat right

Also got a rear safari and stainless header to fit

Decided to drop the front a touch more aswel [emoji2]

So need to get this finished off and start enjoying it as the will is starting to slip with it, engine is ready to fit and has made it a little closer to the hole it needs to be in

Alittle update, front and rear safaris fitted and BRM's [emoji3][emoji3]

Looking Good . Paint colour really suits the BRM's too.

Abs love this van! Great work and agree the BRM's definitely set it off nicely!

Well the engine is finally in and near ready for a fire up, plus the birth certificate has turned up so happy days
Got the R&R bed fully bolted on to, roll on summer
also had to have a sit down and get the feel for it [emoji3][emoji3][emoji3]

Gave the van its first ever polish today and it looks fab, been collecting dust for the last year and a half since it was painted, not long till we're rolling tho [emoji3][emoji3]

Vintage speed exhaust arrived this morning [emoji3][emoji3][emoji3][emoji3][emoji3] looking forward to getting it on

All fitted up, fab quality
