Not updated for a while, some progress pics:-

 

The roof and front panel were bare metaled, primed & painted:-

 

nice work chris, missed you on here.

 

Cheers Rick I've been just too busy, had a few personal things to sort, nearly there, all going well so far. Once I'm sorted I'll be on here regular again

 

By the end of next week the van will be all back together & then its off to Tudors for a full mechanical ready for the MOT.
Nearly there.

 

Love it

 

Great job! the paint matches great!. Saves from a full on spray !

 

Looks great mate, paint looks a good match too should be top banana once all mopped etc

 

I wish i was closer chris id love to come and blend and mop the old and new paint together
Its looking good dude

 

I seemed to have missed this thread. Bus looks good Chris.

 

Looking good. Paint looks well matched too.

 

Cheers Paul

 

Cheers, I ideally didn't want to paint it but as the window rubbers needed replacing & the roof was deteriorating very quickly in the UK rain I decided to paint the whole top half. I had to paint the engine lid & front panel because of the repairs. The sides and rear though look good in the original paint.

Cheers. Hopefully I'm very happy with the paint match.

 

I'm going to go through all the mechanics, it drives nice just needs the breaks doing & the CV joints should be good for an MOT then. Not lowering or fitting alloys though sorry.

 

Cheers pal, not a fan of mopping. I like the results just not the work lol. I think I'll have to with this one though
