Not much has happened to the van as have been sorting my paint out for the respray. But today I started on the wheel stations and was quite suprised as to how little I needed. I need a top wishbone ball joint and I might aswell change the bottom while it's off. So all the bits are in the garage ready to take to work and shot blast then respray.

After ordering a upper wishbone ball joint it arrived today. So I cracked on reassembling the wheel station. All pretty basic.

After

Pretty happy with the end result.

Also as my missus had her first input on the van( think she is coming around to the whole idea) I quickly resprayed the wheels to have an idea what the new colour scheme will look like

Guess what colour the vans going?!!!
