I don’t think it was repaired from its cat d as front bumper and grill are still broken it’s on 70k apparently it was stood in dry which is probs true as shell is immaculate (rust wise) now just accumulating parts for a resto 😂 need to do kangoo first 😂

Sooo update…
I fancy a mix up I dunno if people will be excited or not but after seeing @Chambers_RS project and driving my brothers integra and CTR it feel like the van need a k20!! So I sold the engine and box and bought a k20 engine box and shafts will be making most of the bits to convert so...
All my other manuals have broken bases they are brital and shite now!! And That’s always an awkward question 😂😂 I had my center consol out and had a a nice fitting spanner under knob and a pair of mole grips on the stick and try leaver between the two I think was the most successful way I found...
hi @Panda. I used the trim shed Norfolk done a nice job she reattached it to the base and same agin on kangoo gaiter I haven’t got any pics of base ect👍
Cheers mate yeh I should have got the whole base (alcantara) bit done as there is a very slight color difference from fade but she matched bolster well 👍
