wow looks great man.. how is the steering with those big wheels on the front? they look awesome!!

Hey thankyou everyone for your kind words of encouragement. It needs a good wash and polish as the finish isn't 100% yet, but yeah i'm happy with it.
Ben, the steering seems fine, pretty much like it was before. The fronts have a 1mm offset, so basically nothing, and i think this is the key. Plus the rubber is fresh so it makes it pretty easy.
She sits on 100kph fine, but a bit wobbly at 110. This might change when i put some weight in the back and get wheels aligned properly.
Having no shocks in the rear (get some on thurs) makes it very bumpy, and railway crossings are plain scary. I'm hoping this is because of lack of weight and shockers, and not to do with the big wheels, as that would be dissapointing.
Any ideas of how much weight  a full interior would add?
Other than that, i'll keep adding pics and posts as i finish off all the final touches.

Nice one bud, she's looking good! Always cool to see the transformation that fresh paint brings

Wow, been a while since my last post.
Just put on my new mirrors. I had some kombi stlye smallish mirrors, which were no good, so i got some Chev/GMC van mirrors from the US. They are huge, but i like them, and hopefully will give me a lot better vision.
Put some 'wanker mesh' behind the front grill, and am currently repairing and re-installing my heater.
Bolted both seats in with new bolts, and they're now stable for probably the 1st time in 30yrs.
Slowly putting trim back in and finding and fixing leaks at the same time, hopefully tackle door seals this weekend
Just need some rear shocks, i think HQ one's will fit
Few more bits and pieces, and then i can call her finished, well the outside at least. Then just start the inside.

hi.. pedders do new shocks.. & have gas sports for the beddy... thats what i'm using on my camper..

[Bedfordcrazy]

Awesome mate, looking good, that wanker mesh looks good, lol Look forward to seeing the inside come together. I recon what makes your van look good is you hav'nt gone overboard.
