Yep, really bad fit to say the least. Lots of mods and repairs needed just to get it to the point where it is a usable piece. Very, very thin walls when supplied. So have had to thicken whole lot up with 2 to 3 layers of fiberglass from behind.

Also modifying quite a bit to tie in with better with the over all style of the van.

All that said, I was close to buying an S storm Ute with an HBD optioned canopy. That's just my take on it.

Look forward to watching the progress.

I can look past the build quality of the vans if you can buy them for the right price and you already have the plans on redoing the work to bring them up to a better quality.

I would not buy one brand new with quality of the car as it left the dealership at $52k.

Still believe you get a lot of car for the money in todays second hand market.

Cheers Jon
