Hi All, I have been giving a lot of thought to what Pete and Marion suggested, so I have decided to start posting the rebuild of my old industrial van. It's going to take a bit of time and I will probably make a few mistakes during the process so I am happy with a bit of creative criticism, ideas and/or sugg...
