Jesus I remember this from RB when I had my let van..
Sure I lost out on that bonnet to you aswell a while back
Looks a damn sight better now after changing it from white, wheels really suit aswell.
I'm going to have to buy/build another as a weekend toy at some point.

Rear seat belts & shelf supports fitted. Broom optional extra lol.
