    Cleaned out, primed and then sealed. What sealant do you use? And do you paint on top of the sealant to get the topcoat colour?

    I need to address these seams, ta
     
  3. I’m not sure
     
  4. Yeah seam sealer after primer
    Tiger seals good
    I used a cheaper brand on these and it’s been awfull to use I wish I’d used tiger seal
    Then colour coat over the top of the sealer after it’s had a decent time to cure

    I didn’t do these in one day they were done over a period of time as I was daubing zinc rich primer into the seams with a brush and allowing it to dry in between coats then a little sanding to smooth it off before the sealer
    Then I left the sealer for a week before topcoat

  7. Well it’s looking like I will have to sell the van

    The lady who owns the small holding where it’s been kept is selling up to move

    I don’t have anywhere else to keep it and can’t afford a lock up anywhere.

  12. I’m not moving mate
    I had to move the van from home after the landlord wanted it gone
    So I moved it to a lady I know smallholding
    She’s now selling up so I’ve got nowhere to keep the van

  18. Have you thought about putting it into a storage container to give you some time to find a solution? I rent one and keep my old TVR in it so I can have the bus in the garage, cost is about £80 per month

  20. Bugger Sorry to hear this!
    Can you leave it at Eddie’s, for a bit at least? Until you figure out a plan. Give him a little monthly cash...he might be sympathetic to your cause.
    No one on here to help out.
