	Hello all , I've been a member here for a small while and watching others post their projects so I thought I'd give it a go. So before covid I was lucky enough to pick up this

	Looks a clean one - good that you've got a fairly new model (late 90s) but retaining the classic flat face shape.

	Mr oxb- not to much just enough Mr mint - yes was looking for a flat face for a while and wanted a suzuki or honda and this came up local so would be rude not to . So I confess I am no spanner monkey and luckily the lil box rocket is mechanically sound . It was just a case of de rust and sand and make it my own .... And luckily the gods were watching over me again as the body wasnt to shabby. A little bit of filling to be done around the arches but nothing serious.

	As you can see a true little garage built , all the bottom was treated to a cheeky coat of bed liner to hopefully stop anything developing and all the inside and around arches waxoiled . To be fair she was clean but better to be safe than sorry. So this quick under coat led to this ..... Now I do like a grey car and my previous quick project was this ..... You may see a patteren forming here with my quick make overs .

	Where I picked up Grizz's Rockit there was one but it had the full camper van body and what looked like Nissan c32 alloys, I'll try and get a picture. Loving the home paint job , I might go for it on my Bongo.

	Oxb - I am a sucker for a nice set of wheels and I would highly recommend a home paint job purely done by myself due to this being a budget build and also due to the shops not being open due to covid . Like others on I used Montana 94 spray paint . Very forgiving and smells nice too.

	So with first part of prep and spray over I opted for a darker grey ( also hides a multitude of sins ) Next stage was put all the bits back on and decide what wheels to put on it . Initially I thought it would be a easy process as I had it in my mind it would be a 4x100 pcd ..... nope it came in at 4x114.3. Again not so bad plenty of old datsun and other J wheels to be had in this fitting.

	So as for the wheel choice , well it came to these After looking into it the mighty google suggested early lotus wheels would fit , and they do indeed . Has a certain go kart look about it .

	Next was address the rear interior . I'm going to go for a simple camper type so this is the blank canvas that greeted my after a de gunge and clean Then on to some boxing behind the seats ensuring easy access and of course some storage And two more above the rear arches for good measure Add two more boards and as if by magic we have the bare bones of a basic camper with the ability to be used as a van should it be needed .

Has a certain go kart look about it . Possibly one of my all time favourite wheels. Ever since rmad had them on his Cressida. I tried to buy the second set from the top in this pic but seller sent a not for sale reply. Hi mate, If you mean second set in from the top right then those are 13" Exactons. I'm afraid I am keeping those as it is the only 4x108 set I have seen before, so quite rare. Cheers, Henry.

	Very nice little van. It will be interesting to see how it develops. They have a lot of potential for fun and practicality as well.

	So she is now a proper jack of all trades master of none . She is a daily , a worker and a mini camper . Spot the odd one out in the works car park Oh and found use for the left over christmas lights
