Nice :)

How are you going about securing your air filter? Just thinking about possible rattles.

I've only zip tied it to the wing around a bolt but I'm looking into a more permanent solution.

That's what I've done. Far from permanent but will do the trick in the meantime.

sorry for the delay of updates over the winter months, moved into my own place and only just got the internet fitted 10 minutes ago haha. photos are coming up tomorrow :)

so the long and behold photos of my work over the winter months. so finally moved out and all settled in to my own apartment so its now full steam ahead for the bread van again. so a couple of small updates first.

had to rewire the headlight holders as the old ones where pretty shot. also sprayed some of the interior trim to mix it up a bit that i think works really well as well as respraying the engine cover gloss black. also removed the 4 litre windscreen washer bottle and brought a 1.2 litre bottle and moved it behind, next to the fuse box. also purchased a snap off boss for my momo steering wheel.

i have also finished the boot build :) finished the trim around the perspex looking into the amp and also added the rear strut brace. have noticed the rear strut brace in the corners. such a good purchase and really happy with the boot build that is now all finished.

i have been working on this for a while and am coming to the end of completing the smoothing of my front bumper. got two more layers of gloss black paint and the need to add the red gt strip and then the front end will be finished :) also tinted the front headlights and front indicators IMG_6178_zpsdaba3f30.jpg

IMG_6179_zps5a800995.jpg

i have also sanded and stone and rust protected painted the inside of the wheel arches. all four have now been painted and protected. have also spend the last 2 weeks refurbing the bbs rims. sanding back, and spraying and lacquering. now just need to remove the mashing tape and polish the chrome lips and then they can be fitted back on the bread van :)

looking really good man keep it up!

I want to see it dry! Looks quality although I must admit I hate splitters on these bumpers

Very clean breaddy mate :)

Kieran

Just found this and i love it, i have to agree tho I'm not a big fan of splitters on these bumpers, i think it would of looked better with the classics on it but just my opinion mate, cant wait to get my own breadvan.

fitted my finished front bumper 2 days ago, fitted the metal mesh in the grill on the bumper and fitted the engine cover and stanceworks sticker :)

front ends coming along nicely
