    Excellent work!!! I started on your last page and have just read the whole lot. How exciting/pleasing/proud will that be to have pretty much made the van yourself!
    I love seeing the parts you've made :) and wish I could have such a skill.

    We had a camper in Spain that was a bit rusty and the local garage fabricated the parts. In fact when I even bought the bulgy bit that goes under the windscreen back from the uk the guy refused to use and made his own! :)

    Brilliant thread. I would imagine your mrs likes vans too as she must forget what you look like! :)
     
  2. I wish she only let's me play at the weekend plus I have a very special little girl to play with through the week and she's my no 1 then the van ha ha .

  11. I'd best get rubbing and filling then as ;)your cheating buy sending it to a paint shop:rolleyes:...........















    Only joking looking forward to the paint pics keep up the good work looking good :thumbsup:
     
  12. True :oops:

    My original plan was to personally do everything like my last project where I made everything from scratch, chassis, wishbones, bushes, inlet manifold, exhaust manifold etc etc!

    But then I decided life's to short for sanding filler and making temporary spray booths out of 2 x 2 and plastic sheet!

    I'm just going to be cleaning and overhauling all the bits ready for it coming back, then it's the best part, putting it all back together.
