Wow Gum, that sure is a lovely conversion, I'd wager blood, sweat and tears went into that as well as a bucket load o' cash. Thumbs Up

Killer....white one's still my favourite but your latest acquisition's looking cool too. Thumbs Up

I do like the black covering on the bulkhead where the vent panels would have been - are those a DIY job?


Yes it was DIY with carbon tape they use on aircraft propellers at an unbelievable 400 a roll. Found it having a garage clear out 3 years after leaving the mob. Tried to give it back but everyone I knew had been made redundant.

Some great looking transformations!

Foxkilla - are they 18 inch boost type wheels? Think they look really good!

SGH - the Keswick green paint and black wheels make it look instantly newer! Very nice!
