Ok so a little bit of an update: I have finished removing the interior: http://i601.photobucket.com/albums/tt99/pauldavies84/Teacup%20The%20T25/8A1C2F9F-7352-4212-838C-B17940CDBEB5.jpg I have started preparing the roof for a fresh lick of paint: http://i601.photobucket.com/albums/tt99/pauldavies84/T...

Hopefully,

Got a bit of an oil leak to look at, but am aiming for the next 1-2 weeks to be driving it daily.

Might put new brushes in alty too.

Its my friends unit. We all share the space.

Its a collaboration of VDubbers pride and joys. We use the space to work on them in cold months, and somewhere to meet up regularly.

So I got the rear panels filled and sanded down now, and have put 2nd coat on front panels, o/s and tailgate. http://i601.photobucket.com/albums/tt99/pauldavies84/Mobile%20Uploads/2014-11/A40935DA-BA15-4B29-BEA1-4754E1E2FBBD.jpg http://i601.photobucket.com/albums/tt99/pauldavies84/Mobile%20Uploads/2...

I will get some more snaps on tonight, hopefully will have second coat of paint on by end of the night.

hopefully not, I cut the rusted areas back to good metal.

the corner had few holes on the door pillar, which was glassed and filled, and the same to the lower front panel under the grille. All was structurally sound, just purely cosmetic.

Treated with rust proofing agent from behind too.

Roll on Tuesday, filler will be feathered and second coat will be going on.

So whilst my mate was chopping his roof out to fit a pop top, I decided today was the day my interior was coming out. http://i601.photobucket.com/albums/tt99/pauldavies84/Mobile%20Uploads/2014-11/8EC25C26-4E56-416F-8505-10ABA44F54E1.jpg http://i601.photobucket.com/albums/tt99/pauldavies84/Mobile%20U...

So now 95% of the van is base coated, the filling has been done on the rear arches. Just waiting for it to go off so it can be feathered in . http://i601.photobucket.com/albums/tt99/pauldavies84/Mobile%20Uploads/2014-11/02C52D47-A027-4AE1-9F4F-BEB7B54DD294.jpg http://i601.photobucket.com/albums/tt99...

So after lots of flat ting and a few boxes of scotch pads, I have put the first coat of paint on as much of the fan as possible. http://i601.photobucket.com/albums/tt99/pauldavies84/Mobile%20Uploads/2014-11/EB87BCBD-D3F9-49E6-87A8-2AC0B6F9B2AC.jpg http://i601.photobucket.com/albums/tt99/pauldavies84...

More prep work http://i601.photobucket.com/albums/tt99/pauldavies84/Mobile%20Uploads/2014-11/A7377CAA-3A90-4210-94DB-1DC83DCEC095.jpg http://i601.photobucket.com/albums/tt99/pauldavies84/Mobile%20Uploads/2014-11/82ABB961-75B7-4557-9742-1125A50F0168.jpg http://i601.photobucket.com/albums/tt99/pauldav...

So I am painting the van using rustoleum as I don't want to pay for a re spray and I want to say I've done it all. I know there are varied views on roller painting, but if done right and the effort is put in during prep, it can look as good as a spray. And it's protection for years to come. http://i...

Hello and welcome. Good luck with getting the jobs done on the van

Lol yeah it's a talking point for sure.. It's a high top off something but can't work out what..

So I made an order with JK for the panels I needed. http://i601.photobucket.com/albums/tt99/pauldavies84/Teacup%20The%20T25/7222F459-4AD8-480D-98D8-B3F5F2D7F16F.jpg http://i601.photobucket.com/albums/tt99/pauldavies84/Teacup%20The%20T25/3E065AB3-1007-4A7E-9D84-EDD6535CE444.jpg And then prepped the a...
