That took me a good 8 hours to prep that cab and two hours to apply the coating At £40 per hour for a restorer to do it that would be £400 plus consumables and product plus vat So it would end up at about a grand Best advert ever for giving it a go yourself? Maybe @earlybaybob has a franchise company he could reccomend
Paint on the load bed still wet from last night so change of scene, I've been putting the locker floor off for a while but here goes. On a roll now! Considering how bad the floor is, the chassis and top hats are in fab condition. Halfway there
Satisfying days work, Knackered now, it was too rusty to identify spot welds for drilling out so it was chop with a bolster and lump hammer. More tomorrow
That looks pretty solid What is the top of the bulkhead between the locker and the rear like ? Mine was well gone.
Its ok, the only bad area left is that front nearside outrigger in the last picture thats covered in PO bodges!
I once quoted £2k to replace that floor. Correct, I didn't want to do it, there's no room in there, it's a young man's job.
I'd have to have a week off to recover so my price was about right I think. Still bodging Mr Mick? Times have moved on and the value of these crap old things has gone up 10x since you last looked, you should repair it properly.
Mend it right as you go along though and it's £10K in the bank? Everyone needs a pension and you're not getting younger...
I've done this couple of times in my line of work when we didn't want the job, wildly overpriced it then got the job anyway! Note to self. Put prices up!
