A kit I did buy from eBay where the panels were already carpeted. But my standard panels were broke when I purchased the van.

Have to ask though is 250bhp a bit optimistic from a fairly standard 2.0L?. Saying that i have no idea what the fsi is standard.
The standard N/A engine is 150bhp. 250 can be easily achieved with the parts I'm using. And will be nice and driveable on the road too

I didn't make the rear bumper. But aparently it was a little bit of a nightmare as the 2 bumpers are totally different shapes

I want to keep it looking smart on the outside so probably my company logo on the side somewhere

Update: ATS race wheels from a golf cup car are being refurbished as we speak.

Gearbox is currently being rebuilt

So engine and gearbox can soon go back in the van..

And a few bits have been bolted back in the BAY

Lowered the van this week.

Rear leaf setup went well everything came undone as a 12plate van should.

Front setup both top mounts had a bolt either side spinning in the captive nuts. (The joys). Masked everything up (paintwork/windows etc. And ground the heads off the bolts.
Van is on the maximum drop

Can't wait to get some wheels.
