Hi Matt, I love this van!

I really like the green colour of the bonnet - would you happen to know what green it is?

I also think it looks great in its present state! :P

Excellent! You did the box sections?

Don't forget that the windscreen could really do with removing and the (new) metal painting properly - I think water's been getting in there and sitting - which isn't going to make for longevity.

More pics for no reason other than ive just bluetoothed them to the PC from my phone, sorry some are grainy, had the camera on Macro mode, fool.

The old girls done about 400 miles this weekend with some touristy type sightseeing going down at ironbridge and local stately home ruine etc, fine if a bit slow, but by crikey good MPG if you sit at 60mph (or 100kph as i now know it)

I did leave the rest of the tin of paint in the back of the damn van, Matt... <g>

If it's gone AWOL or off, it's Dulux exterior gloss "African Adventure 3"
