    She (lottie) does go well... :msn4: Still needs more work but we are getting there! There's a few things on the wish list, I'd love the reversible front bench seat and a full width R&R bed (instead of the 3/4 width), she'll be used as more of a day van so perhaps a few small changes...

    Sliding door adjustment

    I (well James Wooton) found the issue with mine... It has the wrong striker plate on the sliding door, it had a striker plate from a front door on it, which are slightly less offset. Or at least I hope that's the problem as the part should arrive today :)
