Was originally going to be mid Brunswick green same as a truck I drove in my youth, but actually ended up light Brunswick which is nearly identical to John Deere tractor green, so I'm happy with the result. Looks very good considering it was applied with a 4" brush!....

Thanks Phil, getting good feedback from all who have seen it so far. Not changed the logbook yet, taking the photos tomorrow if it doesn't rain then sending the docs off this weekend. Fingers crossed, sounds like I might have some problems with the change. Everything is done as laid out on the...

Few more piccies for your perusal

Just finished my 5.5tonne I've go self build. Been at it steadily since January, & took it for mot yesterday. Passed with no advisories & mot man says it's very tidy underneath. Been a council welfare bus before I got it so well maintained & serviced regularly so all in all, quite happy now.

Been keeping a log of costs for materials etc so I should have a reasonably accurate idea of what I've spent, but that won't take into account the bits I've sourced for free (professional womble!) or made myself. Will be something to consider tho thanks.

Thought that was the case Phil, but didn't want to mix in without checking. Thought as long as the "04" bit wasn't split it would be ok. Small fault to find anyway on such a nice build.

How is the spacing of the plate illegal?

I like the first one mate. The Merc looks square & angular, don 't think wavy llines are a good look on such a square van. Love the conversion by the way.
