    Stanley look fantastic, comfortable and homely - a real credit to you - one of the best resto's on here by a mile (and you've finished!).

    Top work. So how long did it take all-in?

    18 months is good. Just had to buy one back I haven't finished after 3 years! I've learned my lesson though, no more welding, grinding, filling or painting.

  7. Its been a few weeks now and Tracys been out and about enjoying the Van during this heat wave we've been having!!!! ;D anyway a few little teething problems but its running great generally, heres a few more pics. The interior seating has just had some covers fitted to make it more pratical to take the dog out.
