First Road Trip post Resto... Cornwall. Van was faultless in everyway and we had a great time... Can highly recommend Henry's Campsite in Lizard and Pennycrocker campsite near Boscastle, beautiful both of them and will definately stay again!

All looking great Sean :ok

16 months and our "8 to 12 weeks mate" resto job on the TinTop is STILL in the body shop :evil: No amount of begging and pleading will get them to get the job moving faster :evil:

it clips onto and hides the metal lip above the sliding door.

I would like one of those for our HiTop van, what did you type into ebay to find it ?

Got a feeling he sold it a few months after it was finished. :roll::cry::cry::cry:

I didn't notice the date on Sean's last post :shock: It only came to the top because of a spammers post that has now been removed.

I wonder how much the body work cost and how much the van sold for :?

Yeah, I looked for his other posts but couldn't see the for sale one. Hopefully he didn't need to in the end and deleted it.

I think (could be wrong) that for sale posts are auto pruned after xx weeks ?

From his profile...
"Last visited: 02 Sep 2012"

So he probably did sell.

Sadly Sean did sell the van absolutely gutted for him especially after all his hard work refinishing the interior.
I'm sure the bug will bite again
