    Looks so incredible. I do notice that you don't have the stripe going through the petrol cap. I feel that it should as ours did in the 70's but perhaps positioning varies from different dealerships. Jennie on r's iPad

    I used a heat gun to contour the sticker into the recess for the fuel filler and will signwrite the missing stripes shortly. This way I will have colouer behind the edges of the filler. I hadnt got around to that bit yet

    I won't have this problem as I'm running straight gas so decided to delete the fuel filler all together. Will fit a hinged no. Plate mount to the rear and hide the gas fill point behind it!

    BTW. Great job and thanks for sharing your journey with us Grunt!!

    Thanks mate. Yes the flap would fix the stripe issue but I wanted to keep the fuel filler factory. Im going to brush the yellow and a small stripe of orange on there shortly

    Every other van owner in the country is worried Grunt is going to park next to them at a show!

    or parked together at a pub!
