Thanks. Yeah the plan was to make fairly quick progress as ive got a week off work in September.

I suppose also someone else doing the welding you can only go at their speed but they are keen to finish.

My classic parts holding me up are the rear trailing arm mounts but the delivery is supposed to ship from classic parts to heritage tomorrow

Got the day off tomorrow to go vinly shopping to finisht he itnerior.

I think it helps seeing different vans come intlo heritage each day as you get to look round them and it keeps me inspired

nowt wrong with skinny welders, you can get into spaces easier,and at 21 hes loads of years ahead to get fully learnt.
theres a few folk doing the os sill at the moment ,(unfortunately im not one) have you got any further than the picky with it tacked to the rotten B post as this reconstruction would be usefull .
otherwise good work there to your man doing it, what you youself do at heritage :wink:

Hi

Yeah he is young and very enthusiastic so all good. My mounts for the rear trailing arms have also now shipped from classic parts!!!!

Unfortunately i dont have anymore pictuers as i only had the ones they had taken as they are in Hoddesdon adn i am in Sussex so i could only grab the after pics when i went ot visit the van

I'll ask them to document fuirther with more pics when they do the other side for you if you want.

At Heritage i do parts
