Im looking for some advice! Ive been looking at the van for a while now and I dont think i need to spend £500 on a kit! The rear part of the kit wont fit anyway because its for a subaru sambar and not a hijet. The most importamt bit is the front......
How easy would it be for me to stip the front bumper etc off and make a metal fram and lay a big sheet of fiber glass over it to make the front flat like the vw and just cut the holes out for my lights?
Can anyone point me in te right direction here with what to use?

As you want a flat panel I would suggest using thin steel or ally sheet.
If you really want fibreglass then lay up on a glass pane to get your smooth flat finish

I also have a Marylyn Monroe but can't find a picture of it so here is what it was based on instead
They are gradually getting better and my technique improves.

You can always trace over the photo and draw your extension on it. That's what i've been doing with photos of the progress of my build to see how it looks and gives you angles and reference points for measurements. And a tool to see the finished product. Usually side and front views will give a good 3d projection.
