Patina Loco - lowlight facelift a'go go :)

To drill the sills from the floor? In this case a normal drill will do it because you are not trying to preserve the layer underneath.

 

This! I used a step drill which worked a treat.

 

Good shout! ive got some good quality HSS drills so I can get crackinng then

 

You had all day to work that out.

Had the nippers today
plenty of time lol

 

well the winning bidder of my awning I sold on ebay still hasnt been in touch after 4. days, and is steadfastly ignoring messages.....no problem though, I second chance offered it to the next highest bidder and hes driving up from Devon tomorrow to pick it up. More sheckles for the bus fund so depending on JK's special order turnaround I should get my wide 5's on in the next few weeks and have enough left to invest in an air compressor for the undersealing and eventual paintjob

 

Coz ive got a nice set of steels here already left over from my caddy. The rears are recentred for dish and they'll look badass only downside is I think i'll have to flare the back arches for clearance coz of the adaptor width

 

So you're priority is a set of wide 5's ??
.... and then a compressor - eventually ..


I see vagrancy looming

 

Insure and burn it.
Make it look like arson and blame it on the locals.
They never liked your van! And you can prove it!

 

Ftfy.

 

Lol! all it requires to meet the demands of the HA is a valid MOT and a tax disc......paintwork isnt an MOT fail so its a no hurry affair.....plus if I fit the wide 5's I can get my BRM's off, clean them up and sell them which would pay for a compressor. I have this all figured out dude! lol

 

How about you buy it for proper money, and then I go and buy an early? lol
I have a vision Malc.....have a little faith, I build stylish volkswagens

 

I used a flat bladed cobalt steel bit I bought from Frost Auto restoration a couple ofvyears ago. Comes in its own little red plastic case. Good drill and has lasted forever but Frost take ages to process orders so you might be waiting a few days...

 

No worries. Zed assures me that all I need to drilll out the sill welds is a decent 8mm bit and ive got a few of those here

 

lol Bought a 5kg roll of mig wire today. Work restarts on sunday ready for panel delivery on monday
