Blimey, that must have been a lot of work.!!

If you haven't named it yet, I would go with Lazarus..!!

Ha that would be fitting but we have already named her Eileen after my late Nan who gave us the money to buy her.

Looking forward to singing 'come on Eileen' when she doesn't start in the mornings!

So roughly we spent the following

£325 on panels and new window rubbers
£35 on a sheet of zintec
£1000 to the welder friend
Plus a tin of red oxide primer say £10

So total £1370

Now to get her through an MOT and get her painted

where does your welder friend live????

Crawley .... But he done me a massive favour. Not his usual rate!

It looks good, well done getting it sorted for that price

Got her started yesterday - how does she sound? https://vimeo.com/153082232

So she is finally finished! What you think?

Looks really good and at very good price, I think you need to treat your welder friend to more than a beer .

Nearly brung a tear to my eye reading this
Van looks bloody brilliant!

Well done you

Great job there... I''d have imagined that would be a 5-6k job easily (before paint) to do a reasonable job.
Receipts from before my ownership show a replacement rear arch and trailing arm mount at a 'reputable' restorer came in at £1250. And it was a very poor job that needs doing again 2yrs later.

To DIY all of that for £1500 odd is great work and that paint job makes it look fab. Was it rollered in the end?

Great work, well done, your van has come a long way

Did you roller it then Stu? If so, hats off to you fella. Hope DVD was a good guide. Fab colour!
