Default RS Van Build

Hi All
Well i've finally found my van after months of searching for the right one. Met a guy who smashed a van up,brought a shell but never got round to putting back on the road, hence me buying a brand new MK4 shell complete with doors,bonnet etc.The van is one owner 1986 never been on the road!
Going mainly series 2 gear, but was thinking on the new ST eletric orange colour?
some pics for now

Hi All
Well not done an update for some time now but project is still going. Cant believe its nearly a year i've had this shell already!
As said before this is my first effort so no laughing at the bodywork!!
The engine really starting to look good now and we started it for the first time the other day all thanks to SafeChav top man. was trying to get it ready for August 5th but that now looks very unlikely taken ages and costing a fortune.
Any how so pics for now see what you think.
cheers
