Other gumph and bad bits- - Its not shiny. Its not meant to be. But its not rusty either. There are from what I can recall 2 bad bits, one is a bit of filler I put in below the passenger indicator to fill a dent only, that is cracking. I can redo this if you want but its not really the end of the world on this van, and a bit on the drivers side seam behind the door.
- uses a little oil. But what Transporter doesn't
- sliding door trim panel scruffy
- Alarm tempremental but there is a knack (easy, not hard and I will explain)
- Comes with loads of spare bits, including a mountain of steels, the factory front seats, a factory silencer with 350Z tailpies (yes, Nissan Z tailpipes) and other bits and bobs to that effect.
