It's a build thread don't apologise for pics, they're better that way!! Looks like you got a project on your hands there, keep us updated :thumbsup:

Not to sound like a idiot but that's bad in fairness I'd cut the van panels and out and shove them onto a half decent bready job done!

Well, if you did that you'd only have a bread van with Van panels...

This is a genuine Van, which is quite rare these days. Plus there's probably less welding to be done here than would be needed to install these properly into a breadvan.

Also I thought with only 1 previous keeper, and given the rareness this would be a nice wee save? Plus I have the option of a G40 engine for it, so that would make it a nice wee van.

Although progress is slow at the moment I'm sure I'll get there one day.

Dam.. that's a bit of work... but will be grand once done! :thumbsup:

Well after putting it on ebay, I have done a deal on G40 engine and gearbox which may see me keeping the Van. But I'm going to let it run its course on ebay and see what happens.
