Slow Transformation
From this in 1996 when it was first for sale in the UK at Vanfest
To this when it was owned by Karen
To how I have it now. I have put on the front roof section, the new wheels, the barely visible (in this photo) rock sliders and the door pods just behind the front bumpers. Got a couple more cosmetic changes and a stack of mechanical changes still in mind.

Re: Slow Transformation
Wheels are zcw force shadows 16". Tyres are hankook dynapro ATMs. They are great tyres an a lot cheaper than the BFGs.

Re: Slow Transformation
What made you change the front of the roof? Sunroof? Just started to pack my westy for germany and have put a honda generator, kinetic tow rope, petrol fuel can and a spreader base for the highlift on mine. Its one of the most useful spaces on the van.

Sure, I once charged my mobile phone off it. Not the most environmentally friendly way of doing things, especially as i was chomping my way through a can of tuna at the time
Maybe we should have a group charge all at once to ease our consciouses.

Re: Slow Transformation
I changed the roof section because the old one had the middle cut out for the sunroof and was useless as a roof rack. The new section will hopefully save me a mpg or more. The VR6 is thirsty so any fuel saving is welcome.
