What a beautiful van!!!!!!!! Great job and nice details, they go a long way.

I have a couple of questions for you. Where are the curtains from? What mustard vinyl did you use for the rear upholstery? It looks so correct.

 

[panalvan]

Cheers guys for the kind words
Squareweave .The curtains where made by a friend of a friends mum i got the material from a local material shop.The vinyl came from the states via a member on here i belive the guy in the states still makes them if you need to know who it is im sure i can find out
