Thanks guys. Abba took some great photos this weekend at Tatton.

I just wish the paintwork actually looked that good. Managed to get myself on a club stand for Harewood House so I'm gonna have a word with the lads in the spray shop tomorrow and see what I can get sorted before then. Gotta get the rubstrips done as they are currently clashing with the side bars.

Desperately want to get it lower but until they get the road sorted where I live that's on hold.

Well I can't afford to do much to the van and especially not paintwork. But I've decided to try and get the interior finished in time for Harewood this weekend.

So I've found where I'm going to have the light switch and it's also solved my problem of not being able to fit the back of the armrest without cutting it.

Tomorrow's job is mounting lights in the roof. Then carpet the roof on Friday and I should be ready I think.

Finally lowered it back down. It's as low as the rear will go. Really pleased with it, I do however now want to go lower but just don't think that with the sidebars it'll be a realistic option. We'll see how it goes. And before anyone says it, I will not be removing the sidebars just to go lower...

Your Caddy looks great TNT and the wheel colour is inspired. This thread has given me loads of ideas as I also have a blue Caddy Maxi.

Been a while... No real progress. Just had a 6 speed box fitted, keep breaking other parts so haven't had a chance to test it properly yet but sitting under 2k revs at 70 is a nice feeling.

Plenty planned though. Just got a good deal on some GTI brakes and carriers so, I've stripped them down, going to get them powdercoated to match the van. I know the calipers are he same but this way it means I can keep using the van in the meantime.

Just got myself one of these so some big changes for this summer hopefully - going to get this grafted to fit and hopefully at the same time, finally get my mirrors done. Smoothed rub strips. Toying with the idea of smoothed back door and roof too. Time and funds will tell.

Thanks guys. She's all booked in for the 20th to get some work done.

Just had a spoiler turn up. £50 and looks to fit like a glove, time will tell. Hopefully come the end of the month she'll look completely different. Hoping to have bumper, spoiler and mirrors done. Also looking into smoothing the rub strips off, if not I'll just get them colour coded. Going to try and get a couple of parts resprayed too, mainly the bonnet, anything else I can afford is just a bonus.

Sneak preview - these are done and just need to get round to fitting them. Just need to find a set for the rears now

I may go lower too...
