Haha! Spot on! I love the tintop look, but am cursing the whole time I stooped over cooking!

Cheers Justin,
I've been driving it everywhere, loving having it back. Looking forward to Bromley pageant!

Thanks all
Really pleased with it. Hoping to get some bits re trimmed soon too if I can afford it. It being all shiny shows up the tired interior!

Picked the van up this afternoon... http://i1177.photobucket.com/albums/x344/batmangb/null-11.jpg http://i1177.photobucket.com/albums/x344/batmangb/null-17.jpg http://i1177.photobucket.com/albums/x344/batmangb/null-3.jpg http://i1177.photobucket.com/albums/x344/batmangb/null.jpg http://i1177.photobu...

Hoping to go to Bromley as well as long as it doesn't clash with holidays. Will post some more pics hopefully next week. Can't wait to get camping when the weather is like this!

Good thanks. Just waiting to get it back from painters, then off for a head lining. You doing any shows or meets this summer?

Looks fantastic! All ready for the summer, if we get one

If he takes the side rails,filler surround, wiper spindles, side vent etc out he can hit them better. That vent on the side needs to come off to look for rot and get some paint on it. Lower chin spoiler needs to come off to get some good paint on the front. Due to position its going to be a 'high r...

He's not doing the shuts, the colours we have in mind (probably Irishgruen C6Y) aren't hugely different from the original. So hopefully won't look too odd.
There are more bits and pieces to come off yet. On the whole I'm really pleased!

Vans in primer now, took a few pictures earlier today. Bloke painting it says he can't get the old colour, (which I didn't want anyway, the Missus did) so we have to pic a shiny new one! http://i1177.photobucket.com/albums/x344/batmangb/44E87450-3FA0-435D-AED7-383552E9A5CF-10649-00000A0522DD5EC8.jpg...

I stopped off and had a look at the van today, he used 4 inch paint stripping discs to get most of the paint off, and the fiddly bits by hand. Not much progress since last week. Will get some pics up when it's in primer.

Hi Justin, The place is called TD coachworks, they are on the one way system at the bottom of Orpington High street. They have done a few bits and prices for me on my work motor and my wife's polo. I've been really happy with everything they have done, quite reasonable prices too. I will post more p...

They were finishing awkward bits off by hand today, not sure what they did for the rest. I will ask next time I am in.

Cheers, I'm really pleased with it so far. Hardly any corrosion at all.
I quite fancy a nice new metallic colour, but the Missus is set on the original Nutria (brown!).

Just back from the garage that is painting our van, really pleased with the progress and thought I'd share these photos. :D http://i1177.photobucket.com/albums/x344/batmangb/1CB6068C-76D9-4F06-A7CE-FEF20B602838-3158-000001A4CEAEF66B.jpg http://i1177.photobucket.com/albums/x344/batmangb/6D0540A6-02FF...
