Amazing work! Great attention to detail, going to be like a brand new van! I'm just in the process of piecing mine back together after a full restoration. Could you please send me some details on the kit you used to do the zinc plating, or would you like to do another set of locks and latches etc if...

So my van is a 1983 with the earlier suspension brakes etc etc. My question is how much of an upgrade is the later setup? I have a donor van which is a 1989 with power steering. Both setups will need new bushes etc, just wondering if it's worth the bit if extra work to change? Thanks

If so where did you source the full rear quarters and what is the fit like? I've heard some horror stories about some aftermarket rear quarters. Tha...

Incredible work! Your a braver man than most. And credit to you for not cutting any corners. Going to be one super solid van when done!
