That would have been handy on last Friday night!! It does add to the bank of info - he makes it look easy.

I think there is a touch of Zen at work in the vid !

OH DEAR!!!! What have we done













Could this be another build thread Its only two pages in but I have a feeling its abit faster paced than the others

Well that wouldn't be hard take it he's gutting the entire inside of the van ? may aswell rip out the dash And seats while he's at it, reinsulate and don't forget the seams on the inside.

Good to hear it worth investing in a few rolls of flashing tape (unless he plans to go to the sahara ) for the sound deadening and additional waterproofing I used exotherm for the insulation (not sure if that's what its called) the silver bubble wrap stuff very light, waterproof and easy to work with can easily get 3 layers of it in there the equivelent to about 300mm of fiberglass. Any body mods on the agenda or is he feeling that brave ? What paint is he using 2 pack or rustolenium, rustolinium would be ideal for a syncro IMHO

It took two of us to strip it down in half a day, it will need four of us to build it up after the re spray in the same time if we are lucky. Help has been ordered

Let mr know if you need any help as I have stripped and rebuilt a Westy. Half a day is little optimistic. Especially if you need to fit the canvas.
