Some might remember the syncro we found a couple of months ago in a front garden left for dead looking right sorry for its self.

After a new set of wheels £5 each from syncro Andy (thanks) £20 back bumper and end caps from CJ two rust free doors and quarter lights from Jakes old caravelle £200, stainless exhaust bit from Baxter, £220 for a fiberglass back and roll bar, freeing both the diff locks £0 due to help from the good folks on here, some Volvo seats, a good service, its back. The fella Neil (aka Axeman) knows freed a snapped stud from the exhaust, fitted the stainless bit, wielded both the steps, resprayed the whole van after getting rid of all the dings, sprayed the bumpers, sprayed the fiberglass back as well as a couple of other things i cant remember for the grand total of £1000 :shock:

The difference is amazing......

Looks very nice indeed. 8)
How do you get the fibre glass rear cover on, they must be to heavy for a one man operation.
