Hi tOP
Under 80k miles
FOR SALE
Less than 8 hours from Inverness......
And you are down to only a few vehicles......
Also - do they not have sea/salt spray at all the other coastal areas of britain - certainly 2 days on the western isles and you could have eaten fish and chips off our paintwork

I'm with you mate. It harder for us up here.
I had to fly to Exeter then train it to Plymouth to pick up my bus. It was in pretty good nick over-all. Being an Island we all will find it hard to pick up a bus that's not been exposed to salt on the roads or in the air.
Sounds like you had a good job done. My welding and paint job was £160. But I had the wheel arches already, they came with the van and I'm still in the process of rollering.

Too a much lesser extent. I live on the South coast & sea spray is minimal when compared to the West/North coasts. Also I can't remember the last time the roads were gritted down here.
Its only what I think, through experience, if you had two cars to choose from the further South (not Cornwall) the better.
OK - the van is back in operation - bodyshop got is all back together in time for our hol on the Hebrides - so it is back in for finishing in September/Oct.
Some pics here of the four wings - two corners and one footstep - all fitted, pained - but NOT flatted/filled and finished.
Am pretty happy with it so far - however would really like to get it finished. At least it is very solid now and the rust in the first pics of this thread has now been dealt with.
Sailed through MOT - not surprisingly....!
Note - the fridge panel is NOT yet done - this will be done with kitchen out in September with the schofield repair panel below the indent on that panel.
Will update again when the final finish is applied.
Was just thinking have these t25's joined the bay's,splities now. A few years back would people of bothered to carry out that work or just moved on to another one?
...must admit - it did cross my mind to cover up and pass it on - (just as the previous owner did to uslooks very solid - everything works well the top half is great so getting a bottom half to match seemed the only sensible way.
There is too much good stuff chucked away in this society anyway.....save the T25s - all of em....(within reason - obviously )

here here... I have seen vans waaay better than mine being broken and I have said several times maybe I ought to scrap mine but then I tell myself when it's done...
It is by will alone that I set my 'van' in motion!
