You should ask her to show her face again, it has been years since we saw her in your builds. Looking forward to the van rolling out of the shop.

	Looking good, it will last a good few years more now. I have not seen a mk4 van out in the wild since I sold the last one I had about 12 years ago.

	Tach! There is fuel dripping after i left the gas station.... >: So,i removed the fuel tank,again...... OOOps!Under the seal rubber from the filling tube is a very small rust hole...you can't see it without removing the seal. Easy repair... Found some small bubbles under the seal from the rear windows.....better have a look NOW! Oh! Early stage,,,only needs some paint... Other side is worse.... Fitted the steelies back.... I think they fit the look even better than the RS turbo alloys.... Greet
