My viking resto, Now for sale

Good god that's a lot of work. Nuff respect to you whereuromnosecity I would have sat and cried. And then opened the gin

PS aren't you missing an F from your user name??!

 

Cheers, i did have a few JD's to lift my sprits
as for the F i'm not sure where that is might find it one day

 

Looking good, I've just made the exact repair to mine, fidely little bits like that can be very time consumeing

 

Check down the back of the r&r bed, I found all sorts of crap down mine today (some quite literally crap)

 

Looks good, this is the next bit I'm doing so following with interest

 

They are indeed, but some what satisfying when it all starts to come together

 

The mig wire i ordered on sunday turned up to hoping to get i little more done on Thursday, as i'm busy all weekend with the lids as the wife is on her sister's hen do
Will keep the pics coming

 

Good to see your banging it out. Meek more super Vikings on the road. We're a dying breed!

 

Mine will be back on the road soon too!

 

My aim is to on the road for this time next year

 

We need to organise a meeting of the viking horde!!

Fantastic work mate. Mines on the road but needs most of that doing really

 

I'm up for that
But will have to construct a tent from the sail off the longboat like it the good old days

 

no floating my bus off into a fjord an firing flaming arrows at it or I will be *******ed!

 

Another update, due to being off work today to look after the kids (teacher training day, they only been back at school a week)

I thought i would put the day to good use and get some work done on the bus
Armed with a new reel of mig wire and some cutting discs i set to work

I didn't seem to take many pics but here goes

Started of by cutting the sill closing panel to shape and welding that in



Finished off the c post


All welds ground and a splash of primer

​

 

ext i started to repair the remaining inner wheel arch piece


Made i repair piece


Welded in, primed and seem sealed

​

 

Then the outer arch

Started off like this


With lots of trimming and trial fitting it was time to weld it on


All done and primed


And repaired the inner structure that i cut off for easy access


I'm now out of finishing discs, so thats it for the time being

The plan next is to finish off the top hat and jack points and then to get the new floor in

 

This pics in this thread are a great help to my resto. Great work.

 

No worries mate, it's all about helping others

 

Tidy repairs mate, keep going!

 

I'm finally starting to feel the end is in sight as far as welding goes, i've got all the remaining panels that i need and most of the time consuming work making up little repair pieces is pretty much done
Then i can get on the subaru engine conversion
