    Alas you’ll have to wait until early next week for the big unveil! Doors are painted and onto the shell tomorrow. It’s looking lovely.

    After 3 years of cutting, grinding, welding, sanding, painting and various other skills I've never done before the van is finally in her final coat of paint! I've gone far beyond what I originally planned to do but hopefully the results speak for themselves. To say I'm pleased would be an understatement. We're a way off being on the road but this was a huge step for us.

    I don't think I've ever worked so hard over 4 days, and pulled 2 14 hour days, a 13 and a 12 to get it done. I'll upload some progress pictures later. And rest.

     
  12. Massive congrats
    Looks awesome well done bud
