It all started in June 2007 with our first camper with it just been restored we thought we would have many many years of rust free happiness (yeah right ) 2 years down the line the trouble started rust ,rust and more rust :'( so i bit the bullet and started the proper restoration the link below is where i got to before coming over to the latebays http://www.justkampers.com/forum2/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=145319 some sheets of steel were going free at work so i made my floor panels found some more rot around the rear light and the front deformation panel so chopped out the rot and replaced with new they was a bit of rot and some drill holes and a fresh air vent in the rear of the van behind the air vents so more chopping and replacing : and that was about it till the site went ti*s up and my pc and this what has happened since then time to go to the sprayers yippeeeee ;D ;D ;D sorry i don't have any more pics but here she is returning home 8) here she is with the doors on and some of the windows in 8) 8) 8) so as you can see the end is in sight and i have still got a big grin on my face every time i look at her ;D so till next time
