Bought facelift rear lights

To do.

So today I've developed a banging noise when off the throttle and without brake. At first I thought it was the gearbox. Upon closer inspection it appears to be the engine mount under the battery tray. Also ordered my hot staple gun off amazon so may make a start on the bumper this weekend when I've done the mount.Image

Decided to lower the van today. Got my dad in to assist. Having a ramp makes life so much easier. Need to give her a clean now and get some better picsImage

Also fitted some lights and carpet in the back and removed bulkhead.

Ordered 4 lights but sent one a different size and I ran out of spray adhesive so can't finish yetImageImageImageImageImage
