    Brilliant project Dan and amazing to see the transformation from a white van to something to be proud off. Thanks for taking the time to post all the videos and apologies for only catching up now ..... my business got a bit busy as all my customers gardens started growing so time just ran away from me. Shall look forward to the final buff and clean up. Spoke to your mate Andy at Transporter HQ to get my T6.1 booked in for the Bilstein B14 Comfort modification. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
