lee grout Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 What bumper is it? Looks like two stuck together!? Just need some sides and rear to match the front, depth wise. What wheels you planning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alloy fuel filler http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m261/dan_rs500/IMAG0134.jpg Did a colour sand and compound over the weekend, started with 1200 grit wet, then 1500 wet, then on to cutting compound with grey scotchbrite wet, then 6G and finish with Super Resin Polish.

Dan_Trials Posted March 4, 2012 Author Share Posted March 4, 2012 hey buddy, am i rite in thinkin ur gonna try an fit focus headlights on ya van? Lol actually no I am not going to do that, but it has been measured up for a focus front end and it would be easy enough to make a 'focus van'. If/when I smash the front end in I might do it but until then all the focus bits are for my girl friends focus which she parked in some ones front garden! Went for a spin tonight and got a couple of pics, will get some daylight ones at some point. http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m261/dan_rs500/IMAG0137.jpg http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m261/dan_rs500/IMAG0138.jpg Just need to build up my spare rear axle now and lower it!

karlchild Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Looking good! Really like what you've done with the front end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt86 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 If you lower it, is the front bumper going to rub along the ground? Looks pretty low at the front already. Nice work trying out something new Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
