Re: Sunnivagon
Well fun is being had,
last few blows had been the usual ,remove nowt and dont take much trouble masking it, i hate cleaning other folks laziness up

anyhow nice clean lock area

overspray removed

voila

better

nsr seams

this is the bit that I gassed form the inside of the join outwards
and if you fit the wing and cut it the same way then all the surfaces stay flush as they should

water tank and stuff going back in , cant fix the kick board down as the new flooriung has to go in first, got some nice italian contemporary vinyl,which arrives on thursday
but loads else to do

this next bit is now on a serious note, the fridge flue, i think its ally flexi and original but its split , the rest is as bad so a vary real danger here. i have sourced some very good quality 30mm stainless and this fits very snug into the exhaust outlet

so thats it for the night

Re: Sunnivagon
Too excited to type...
One thing is the water inlet lock was always rubbish and didn't really work - is that easy to replace or will it fix/clean up?
Shiny shiny shiny shiny shiny ... I am sooooo happy

Did you buy a new VW and transporter badges on the back or re spray them?

Re: Sunnivagon
Have you got a nice big heated garage? One with rubber floors and nice little heaters to keep your new baby warm? I reckon it calls for a new name for the van too.

I know - thinking of knocking the roof through garage into bedroom so she's toasty warm. Cannot believe I damaged my new car after an hour first time I parked in the garage
Was thinking of selling my car and commuting in it!

I use my Westy as a daily, doing about 20 miles a day. Always brightens my day.
Yours looks amazing!
