No stress, pleased you enjoyed the clip. Got a few others of racing vans.
I'd love something like that, mate started a T2 camper with a bentley blower engine in it. Unfortunately he just ended up with two large piles of expensive scrap as he emigrated before completion. Still wonder if someone picked it up and finished it as it would have been a beast.

Not 100% if it is Spa, or whether is Hockenhiem or anywhere for that matter, obviously haven't played enough racing sim's. :grin:

Thought i'd post a little update on wip so far

Sarted off like this,


Prepping almost done


All taped up




White primer ready for top coat of Alpine white




It's all gone pretty well really, despite getting nagged to go out this morning instead and having to get it done before it started to rain.

I'm now looking into getting a Dubhut which will help me work when it's dark and or wet, happy days :)

Good shout on the dubhut, been looking for something similar, got me thinking now :smiley:

*PS meant to say that's a big improvement on the bay btw.

Thanks for the comments, just frustrating it's still pissing it down.

Can't wait to get the left side finished so i can start on the dreaded battery tray, not sure what i'm going to find under there :)

You should have seen the washer bottle, god knows what the previous owners have put in there as it was lined with a sticky black sludge but a few hours with a sponge on the end of a coathanger and it's all gone and back to looking clean.

Yeah the Dubhut would solve my garage problems, just working out where to put it so i can still get the car in and out :)
