Just got the Villa 3 back from the spray shop and spent today fitting the new wheels and putting bumpers on...

Im really pleased with it. The paint job is by no means perfect - but for the price im over the moon. All i can say was, it was cheap - and i can afford to get it done once a year if i have to. However, lets hope the rust is kept at bay for longer than that....

All i have to do now is refit the new door cards and new speakers and its ready for vanfest.

Then, i get to put the AAZ in and 5 speed box. Cant wait!

PS. A big thankyou to Andy, Nev and Guz at the pig farm for speeding the wheel fitting process up today....

I had all the rear windows out so i could get them tinted. The front window was left in.

I got a bonus by getting the sliding window swapped onto the sliding door - i never used it behind the cooker - but here i can open it to have a chat with folk without letting all the heat out (Aka Jed stylie)...

Next time im going to get some new panels and then have all the windows out - but i hope that wont be for a couple of years...
