diago my first resto ever

It looks better in the flesh it just I am pants at taking photos

 

looking really good Steve.

 

Yep quite impressed hopefully I ll get it back next week the roof and the bumpers are still to be painted in white and will follow in a few weeks

 

i had a delivery last night

and when i went to work this morning they forgot to tell me i had to stop there ALL day so i came home at 9.30


and promptly set about sticking shining bits on



feel a lot better now i ve started emptying boxes still a van full to go at though

 

if you pop up at the weekend you can see for real how straight he is
even mrs lowie happy with it and the only faults i ve found she s told me to stop being picky

 

wow, thats a fantastic transformation

great work, its a lovely looking bus

 

thanks
i know its not in the true sprit of doing it all yourself but i would of never got it as straight as they have and would of taken me longer
than dog and morc are taking to do theres lol and i never would of been happy with it either

 

theres nothing wrong with getting some one else to do the hard work

if I had the money, and knowing how much time its taking me I would pay some one to do the prep work.

I think I'm going to pay some one to put on the final paint though, I've decided not to do that my self now ;D ;D .......it helps having a crash repair shop in the next door unit with a paint oven ^-^

I bet your over the moon with it, I hope mine turns out as nice as yours

 

thanks
i pla is to get a box of bit out and go round and fit what i can out of the box managed to empty two boxes yesterday(lights ,aerial ,mirrors, and rubber door steps) and fit the alloys
trouble is i keep buying more boxes two more going to work in the morning

 

lol, I cant wait to get to that stage, that sounds like the fun part of a resto ......and expensive ;D

 

yeah i keep telling myself i ve got it all but keep thinking of more bits
the only big bits i ve got left are the ply panels for the back of the van but scott from sjh joinery looking in to getting as close original westy look as he can
oh and rear belts everything else is just bits i hope

 

right finely got my bum in gear got the back lights sorted so I’ve cracked on a bit now
i ve looked thru my photos and i haven’t got any of him all glazed up so he looks like this but with his pop top balanced on in white and a few shiney bits been working on the interior today and got quite a bit done
started with this
