Welcome to the tlb 'filler like wedding cake' club. Wilma was at least 2inches wider than everyone else and we wondered why Best thing we did was having her bare metalled and done right. Keep going and good luck! If you want a 'oh my God at least it's not that bad moment'http://thelatebay.com/index.php?threads/getting-ready-for-wilmas-40th.5974/
got the grinder out and cut a few bits off the weekend ,to find some more rust free bits that need cutting out, lucie will be along with the pics
Havnt posted for a while! Well what have we done.... Just the usual sanding scraping grinding off everything ready for the garage to take it away. The van is now at custom creations in glastonbury ready for all the cutting and welding to be started after bristol volksfest Just been buying MORE panels lately, sent back the crappy wheel arches and exchanged them for the real deal £270 each ones and they are soooo much better! Buying all the best quality parts and doing it all properly! Side panel repair pieces from the bottom to about half way up both sides front and back. New front panel purchased as the one on the van was replaced but been packed out and fitted badly. New B posts both sides, sliding door track sill, inner outer middle up down left right diagonal round and round sills haha basically all new sills on the sliding door side, new wheel archy bit inside from little camper company for both sides., ummm what else ive forgotten.. Oh yeh and inner sliding door repair panel. Thats just in the last week these have been purched... Feeling skint! ... Today we took a trip to portsmouth and picked up the channel bit under the windows on the sides at the back which are a new handmade section from @davidoft for both sides, a brand new heritage passenger cab door also from davidoft , a brand new drivers side cab door on its way (got the last one from heritage)! It is definatly having a full on makeover! I think i need to go to work to earn some more money now! Haha not much left of the original van!
Hello again, Havnt had anything to post lately as the van is now at custom creations and was getting ready to start the major work after a couple months of him being busy its now my vans turn for a make over. Just started so i only have one pic to show you. The front panel has been removed (apparently it was so easy to get off they could have pulled it off with their bare hands it was hardly welded on atall!) the a posts have now been welded and its prepped ready for the new front panel to welded on! Cant wait for it all to be done!
How's this going? I was thinking about this resto earlier when discussing massive amounts of filler with someone then I saw you asking for an air filter stand!
