Re: From RAC to RAD. Here we go again
No photo updates today but the van is moving on nicely.
Jig brackets are here and fitted so I can check its all straight tomorrow.
Side panel is coming tomorrow and I have all the new rear panels already.
I also have a complete Caddy Cross body kit on order and the plan is to smooth and paint it body colour with the silver trims painted gloss black.
This will allow me to do some serious rear arch mods if needed.

I was going to finish this van and then sell the blue one as I don't have time to get it ready for sale at the moment.
Still have no idea what to ask for it so I might end up having to ebay it

Nothing exciting to report.tommyzooom wrote:Any updates?
I've had 2 damaged side panels arrive from Germany and now third time lucky I have a good one.
Also been trying to find a second hand tailgate as new ones are over £400 plus VAT
I now have a damaged one to repair and its all bolted on to the new roof crossmember.
Rear panels are welded in position but I need to remove the van from the jig so I can get the side panel on.
Tonight I will refit the rear axle and 4 wheels so it will be mobile.
VMaxx are sorting me a set of 4 pot big brakes the front so i'll fit them when I fit the coilovers

The VMAXX big brake kit does look good. Was with them when fitting to their van. Discs are nice and light too ..

Re: From RAC to RAD. Here we go again
I'm very interested in how the v maxx big brake kit performs. Have been looking at them online but haven't heard any reports on them.
Also can't wait to see Matt's van finished .

Re: From RAC to RAD. Here we go again
This looks great! I'd love to see a step-by-step guide for the tailgate?
