right had to skip a stage as it is top secret!
pmsl , not really just can not find the fucking pics but will add them when i do!
general shape is now there on the roof and both sides.








from here on it is all body work , i will smooth out both sides and the roof before i start on the rear end and doors.
sadly , this is another commission build and i am sure the future owner will be pleased to see some progress at last.....lol

quick update on the van .
i have added the xpac arches .
not really my cup of tea on a van , but its not for me so on with it.....lol
i think the broadspeed kit would have suited it better imo









got to finish the front spoiler off then it is time to get started on the rear end.
loads of bodywork too
