Modeled Van - COMPLETE!

I had hoped to be at this stage a week ago but I severely underestimated how much time it would take me.. I'm a bit of a tortoise at 3D it seems.

When first set the task to make the van I got into a bit of a panic, thinking about the high amount of triangles and the few weeks we've been giving to complete the project. However I've been able to make slow but steady progress, and I now have a finished model ready to be unwrapped.
First attempt which I then scrapped
It kept slipping my mind that the inside of the van had to be made too, and that sent me into another pit of worries, however it didn't prove quite as difficult as I'd expected once I got in and started. I guess, as it is in almost any situation, it's best to just jump in and try regardless instead of waiting and thinking things over too much.
And above is the finished wireframe - a van with seating, dashboard, steering wheel, rearview mirror, windscreen wipers, wing mirrors, number plates, door handles and ford logos. Yes.
