wicked diy mate, good to see how she has come on. I miss my breadvan!

Well liking this mate! Proper tidy!

I'm looking to smooth my doors, take door handles off and was wondering about the poppers? Never really looked into it properly, was it easy fitting? You got a recommendations on brands or anything?

Cheers.

  • Author

Door poppers were easy enough to fit I ordered mine in from america cost around 120 I think can't remember just search around ;)

Tyres were from camskill ;) great buy tbh

Its all finished now had a little accident earlier it rolled in to my frence post on my garden door got dented doh! But I have sorted it now just trying to sort out insurance and tax now should be all good pics will be up real soon and maybe a cheeky vid

Looks bloody amazing there!!

Good work mate, looks awesome!

Love this project mate! homebrew all the way :thumbsup:

you might want to be careful with the longer wheel nuts, I fitted some longer locking nuts to a set of the same ATS' on my breadvan and they ripped the inside of my drums apart :disgust:... just be careful you might be alright though
