Lol! No not really. Yesterday we just did the finishing touches to the bodywork to make sure it was spot on. That boot lid/window/spoiler combo took a lot of time to get right.
Should hopefully be going into primer today. If i get chance i'll get pics

Vans have big mirrors to compensate lack or rear window!! Corsa ones won't be suffice surely?!

My dad's Transit doesn't have a rear window, nor does it have bigger door mirrors than Transit's with rear windows.
Same with the Vauxhall Combo's.
You should be fine with regard to MOT time.
Van is looking good - is it going on CS's stand at PVS?

Looks awesome, so smooooth! Like the fact you've smoothed in the rear quarter panels (where the windows would be) and the rear window panel. Very much looking forward to seeing this at PV!

looks like so many hours have been spent on that!
but with everything so smooth why didnt you do the side repeaters aswell, would have been a small task compared to the rest!

Yeah will do. Then i'll go home and bring the bike round like i've been promising to
Fear, i don't like re-located side repeaters in the mirrors, so hence they stayed where they are.
We had a bit of a bad day yesterday. We spent all day rubbing down the filler primer cos it didn't set right in some places. We managed to get it back in a normal primer last night and is now being flatted ready for the colour to go on! Pics tonight hopefully!

We finished painting at 11pm last night! Today we put the wheels back on rubber seals, doors back on, door poppers wired up and sorted out the interior to be painted.
The pictures really don't do this colour justice. Its an Alfa pearl white
MOT is on Friday! PVS here we come!!!
