Haven't finalised a budget yet as I'm at the research stage and pricing up the market.

Notionally £6k upto £10k for the right van with the big jobs done...

i do think that the ET on t4 wheels is all wrong though, should be 30


Longer trailing arms from Dai....??? :D

Ive made a few sets of extended rear arms when people have asked for them so they can run oversize tyres for more ground clearance
