Saw your first post.
Really respect that at the age of 21 (22) by now) you have worked and saved enough for what you wanted and are willing to get stuck in and make it your own and learn the skills to do so.
Lovely looking van BTW

No updates up to date sadly, as I received a driving ban for 3 months, for riding my motorcycle with ''invalid'' license plate..
The issue obviously was, that my bike is modified. I have TUV for everything, except the plate holder.. the officer was so so happy, that he discovered this life threatening modification and was able to report it.
Long story short, in the mean time a managed to provide me some more parts for the van.
AP coils set and small bits such as the rail cover fixings.
Still waiting for the suspensions to come, as they were out of stock and they have to be made. At least i know they're fresh
At the beginning of August my license will be active again, since then you can admire this pic
Take care guys, cheers

After a long time without driving the van, I should be getting my license back on monday
In the meantime, I did some changes to it, mostly interior ones.
- OE aluminum handbrake button
- Finally found a second piece to my dash trim with silver lining

Next thing that bothered me was the light colored interior trim. So I bought Foliatec interior spray - developed specifically for interior plastics and fabrics. Turned out great.
