Did you do the roof under the hightop?

Cutting straight lines - I feel your pain. My first attempts at cutting panels out were horrible, left me with a right mess to fix. What helps me is drawing a line to follow (Sharpie?) and a smaller angle grinder. My old monstrous Lidl grinder packed up and I got a Makita, shorter, lighter, and a po...

As for your camber, I’m guessing negative means in at the top out a...

Trigger’s broom?

And I hope you’re right about how little your van needs, I really do

3. regular sharpening of the bit with a handheld diamond whetstone worked pretty well. Buy a new arch, and cross my fingers that I'm successful in getting a part time job that I've just put in for. 18hrs, uni termtime only, walk or cycle to work. What's not to love... Plenty of time for the van, and...
