The trouble with doing nothing is that you never know when you are finished.

Keeping it original? Not too many vans around.
Yes defo, once the engine swop is sorted it's off to the body shop for a full respray in Mars Red. I have some coilovers ready but need some rims, I had some 16inch Tele dials from a 944 turbo with 8 inch rears but they were too big and now on the bay.

Nice one dude, what engine you running?? I have started to strip my down to find out the damage is, looks good apart from the wheel well.
Did yours come with the nice shinny covers next to the boot catch and what seats were in yours.

Update
Replaced the filler neck as it was knackered, in the process of swapping the fuel tank.
Gotti rims I picked up this week.
Bumpers are well rusty, but I kind of like the car without them now.
Fitting the coilovers next week and attempting to get the engine running
