Hi Guys and Gals

Great progress has been made so far this week...

All the repairs underside have been completed and undersealed once more...

Prep work has started on the side panels;

Now the trickey part... dealing with the hole on the back roof... I noticed it there a few years ago, and put a bit of tape over it, like a plaster... But it didn't heal, it grew... Paul said it would have been alright if i'd put on a little Savlon first...

And this is what was making a rattling noise each time we turned a corner, or rattled when we shut the rear hatch... Now out of the bus and on the floor...

Rust

As she's got a great, original westfalia interior, we have decided to keep her stock...

So the colour is the original Dakota Cream.............. ......

I just can't bring myself to say "magnolia", there I said it...
