onto the outside. BODY & PAINT originally it was a dove blue van but on its second coat. and although in the pics (in the first links) it looks quite good the paint was all cracked and flaky and im a "i like shiny things" person :crazy: so it went for a colour change to top half a silver/grey metallic, bottom half a house of kolor purple marble and inside to a gloss black. six factory pop outs, indicators moved to headlights, all red rear lights, and sitting nicely on a set of new chrome rims, 5.5 j rear & 4.5 j front. smart car rear tyres on the front and 195/65/15s on the back. INSIDE full width r&r bed with new jk foam. curtains and covers to match, all inside paint work clean and tidy, all interior panels made and fitted but not covered yet. front seats need recovering (original ones and a little springy) needs a headliner. (havent really got round to doing much inside so needs a little finishing. sorry to make it such a long one but hopefully it will have answered all your questions so only serious people will enquire. (im a busy man  ) sensible offers or if seriously interested call me and ill let you know. 07941470069 thx Leigh |
