Ok so I went with the wide track mostly cause I had all the bits I I like the wide track,which was a good thing because it meant I had the 288 up frontD399EED8-FEB5-4C50-9E52-4350470A18DC_zps fitted some cheap coilovers upfront till I can save for some proper ones.921200A1-9BE3-46C2-94D5-2A855835E01F_zps so after that I started to bolt up the front end and started looking like a van again.0E5D90BF-8541-424A-BCD4-AF404C39061E_zps it's abit tight to the front panel but there's loads of room at the back which is nice to no as I plan to turbo at a later date for now i got this 6 branch and made the side exit.962208B4-DCC4-4AD7-B63E-F479E7972BD1_zps8A9F30D0-E19C-4613-A6D2-0B48590B3180_zps also got told the standard van front mount wasn't upto the job so got a poly flex one woks great 660ABCB2-AE54-430F-95B0-8149CA44CFFC_zps so after that I played with the rad setup I originally wanted to use the vr6 fans but the wasn't enough room and the inlet was hitting them I decided on some slim line jobs they didn't cost me out and work a treat. FEEB362F-451F-40A9-ABA7-F5DA41098F1F_zps ended up making a air intake pipe which came out ok to 6A622D23-56C7-4F36-83B6-C2213F5C664E_zps BD1ADB3B-5FB7-4B68-B99C-CDA480A424AD_zps

I've seen that in the flesh a guy called Danny did the swap and sold it on to who ever has it now it's a nice van, mines staying tatty on the out side for now I might get a roof rack and some ladders for a laugh.

Yeah I was on their club stand that day.  This one won a trophy at Leeds festival to.  I have a black rolling shell sits on top of a shipping container in my yard, I use to keep my large compressor in the back of it!  If its up there out of the way they won't steal it hahaha  I also have a spare vr engine hahaha
