Good to see you are getting it sorted .
Some of the pictures on the previous page got me worried , I wondered why your van looked so big , then I realised they were pictures from inside the house just one of those Doh moments .

You mean you don't have 2.2m head hight and a full wooden staircase in yours?

Good news...

Got my van back today!
I'm really happy with it. However, the finish is so good I feel I need to make sure everything else going back on to it is as good to match. It still needs plenty of work to get it back on to the roads and useable again. I think I may need to start making a list...

But here's some pics.

Thanks all dead chuffed with it. Got an extensive list of stuff that needs doing now! Who ever said vw ownership would be cheap!!

Dropped my fuel tank today to find the source of the smell... good news, it looks like the tank is good! The hoses are all very shot and my attempt at carefully lowering it was more a slow crash to the grounds in song have a clue how to get the breather pipes back on!

Managed to drop the fuel tank today and check why it smelt so strongly of petrol and pointed out when o filled it!

[Smosh]

Also, do you think I can tighten this back up, or is it a new stud job?

Smosh, how much did you end up paying for your bodywork. Looks like a proper job was done there.

£4k They did do a good job. A lot of rust was cut out, however, they could have gone further. They welded a few panels rather then replaced them. I am happy with the end result though.
