So roughly we spent the following

£325 on panels and new window rubbers
£35 on a sheet of zintec
£1000 to the welder friend
Plus a tin of red oxide primer say £10

So total £1370

Now to get her through an MOT and get her painted

Re: Body work restoration

I've just ordered the 'paint your van' DVD to see if I can save some m...

Re: Relay

I don't know what people are thinking when they fit a 15amp relay, 15amp fuse, on a circuit that will often pull mid 30's amps on first start with a discharged leisure battery. It's also rather worrying to see wiring routed through holes without grommets or at leased being taped. Ditch the 15amp re...
