    Managed to get our new rear bumper irons from Alan Schofield at Campermart £80 for the pair didn't think that was too bad, they were £140 on the t'internet! Might be worth trying them?!

    Van looks great :thumbsup:

  10. Lovely paint job, I'm at the stage where I am choosing mine, is yours pastel white or alpine white above jade green?

    I'm thinking of seagull grey above mango green at the moment but, in two minds as they are splitty colours really I think but, its really difficult as every time I see another set of colours I like them too, just seen somebody's in grey and that looks nice too arghhhhhh!
     
  11. Thanks Yorkieman......its Pastel White over Jade Green...ish.....
    You're right, it is a hard decision. We nearly went for grey.......or all over Pastelweib.........
    But we're very happy with our decision.....

  12. Yippee....just bagged a pair of seats on Ebay!!!.......
     
  13. Well done. Will they need recovering or can you use them as is ?
     
  14. They look usable, with no real signs of damage.......apart from some loose piping by the look of it,but its ebay, so who knows;)
    Will probably get them recovered, to suit interior, but I do like original stuff, so it might be a shame to ruin a good set.
     
  15. Cracking job fella and of course, loving the GREEN!! Get yourself in the club ;)
     
  16. :thumbsup: Where did you get that blind from?? I love it!

    Seats turned up.......turns out they're late type, altho they came out of a 72, so need to transplant some later runners, which isn't the end of the world as the vans runners aint great.......new rear hatch and sliding door seals, not to mention left 1/4 light frame and seals turned up, so plenty to do at the weekend.......pop top base ready to paint, and also refit the track covers..........
