Glad you re-posted this, as you've said on Rusty's resto thread, they are almost identical vans ;D Its actually your original thread that switched me onto TLB , I was trawling looking for resto's similar to mine when i first got the van and came across your thread. It was so similar (down to rusty arches etc) that seeing the progress you had made sorta convinced me I hadn't been totally mad buying a bucket of rust to restore ;D Love the Mk1 BTW, doing anything special engine wise? Cheers, MM
