My 75' Panel Restoration (my first bus!!!)

I was considering blanking the rear windows and having glass in the other two. But a pop top on a panel would look odd. Also, I have a gap between the outer and inner skin around the window on the slider, can anything be done to fill it in?

 

Yes, there's a grp part made for this. I have one you can buy if you want it when I find out what it's worth. I'm not to far away nr. Mildenhall, suffolk.

 

I'm popping up there this afternoon - I'll take some pictures if I remember.

 

Added most of the photos lost after the meltdown for all you photo lovers. Can anyone tell from the tank area what colour my van should be? L50K Neptunr Blue looks too dark. Still toying with the idea of blanking off the rear windows. Not sure though. Not done much on it for a while as stockpiling parts. Decided on Pastle white for the roof. Feel really guilty I haven't given the van the attention it deserves.

 

I have some experience in these matters and I would strongly advise you to chuck this rot-box and get a better one before you invest any more time into it.

I have a far, far better shell than that which I'm about to cut up. You must be mad, or have no idea what you're in for.

Karma if you get there, but kiss goodbye to all you free time for the next 5 years. Is that really what you want?

 

Thanks for the confidence boost Zed, will bear it in mind.

 

No worries Zed, tbh I have seen other restos on here that even I would think twice about!

 

I fyou can give me the M codes from the plate behind the passengers seat I'll be able to tell you what it should be.

 

Thanks for the offer Birdy, but the PO hacked this off to install a Captain's chair. So gutted it's not there as it would shed some light on it.
