Been in to check mine again, progress is moving on well, but the windscreen had to some out for a small repair on the driver side and then they found a large hole on the passenger side which is now being repaired with new metal. Good job as this is over the fuse box!
Will try and post more pic's to the website tonight.
Pics are up now.

It sounds like there are a few of us who are having their vans resprayed.
Mine went in last friday,mine is a dull green,but it will soon be metallic yellow! so you wont miss it .
I will be taking pictures of it during the make over process,and i will put them on here when i get some.
At the moment it is having some new panels on,then its on to tidying the body work up.
Mine is also costing around £800 for the lot.

looking good lee! please tell me to frell off if i'm in the wrong but are they going to take off the badges and handles?? otherwise it is looking like they are doing a top notch job!

I was thinking the same dave, on mine its been completely stripped including all window rubbers etc, which gave me a chance to tint the windows. Still not back, but not going to rush em, as I want it done right.

hi plymat where did you get your water tank cap i have been searching the net but no joy thanks jim

Hi Hammy,
I got it from a local caravan supplier - Plymouth Caravan Centre 01752 342120 or www.plymouthcaravancentre.co.uk but it is a caravan part and I had to do a fair bit of mod work inside to get the water pipe connection to fit, but I think its worth it as it looks far better.
Hoping to get the van back this week, final pics will be posted then
