Well a good and very very messy day,,
Image
seam sealed the joins then dinitrol UC
Image
and
Image
jp area
Image
i have left the small area behind this as there is a very sm,all bit of welding to do later
logo riveted on
Image
front part of roof we scrubbed and cleaned and then color washed, whited in the bracket securing bolds, added studs to the spare holes in it and colored these as well , all in all much nice, still got the main pop to do later
Image
nice clean lines now
Image
wasnt going to paint the roof at the front but after removing the top we found a hole and rust etc so best do it :D
Image
across the rear part
Image
and the gutter
Image
indicator is lit :shock: thankfully no sign of the join in the panel
Image
Image
seam clean
Image
dinitrol creeping everywhere
Image
that will have to do for now, most of the cavities have been done , van is away after the weekend to the fitters for the new engine and is being trailored so no need to rush and spoil stuff so can finish the mass of small jobs on its return and polish it as it will be well hard by then, allso some stuff to move in the eng bay, im also leaving the bumpers and rear flap off as this will give a bit more room to work on the removal etc,
glass due to all go back in in the morning
mm :D
