Great thread - keep it coming.

Cheers, J

Just waiting for the weather to improve, thought summer had arrived last week but this week its yuk

Thankfully the sun has returned to our part of SW France so managed a few hours more on the old bus, its not terribly interesting but I did promise to make updates..... . . .






Sorry thats all for now folks but I did get some rays on me legs..... . . they need them

good job fella better than letting it rot,

Thanks bud, as we all know the T25 has a good strong ladder chassis design and most of the corrossion on them is only cosmetic and doesn't really affect the use of the vans. I have yet to own a vehicle that offers more versaltilty and satisfaction than a T25 (and I have had quite a few motors over almost 40 years. I once owned a Reimo LPG converted 1900 wbx T25 and twas the best I had, fast reliable and economical too.....

Well managed a few more days work on the old van recently, primed it up and sprayed it in a similar product to rustoleum, trouble is I did not realise it was a mat finish (must brush up on my French), guess I will have to repaint in gloss or spray on a laquer, anyone know a type of laquer that don't react with other paint finish's...... . . .

I dunno, that matt finish is rather good. Rustoleum do a clear coat in the combicolor range..

Cheers for the info Covkid, someone else said the matt look gives it character, it would save a load more work/hassle but I don't think I could live with others commenting negative things. I will have to try and get hold of that Rustoleum clear coat

Ah, checked out the lawsons site and it apears they only do the clear coat in aerosols Think I would need quite a few to do a T25

Oh well had to bite the bullet and fork out another 50 notes for more paint but it is starting to look good ......at last

Nearly done with the bodywork....... . . .

hey dude, that van looks gggggrrrreat

Cheers buddy, it helps to motivate if you get some feedback, so thanks

hi van look great and I have enjoyed you thread, I too am in the middle of a very simular project and have replaced both back wings and wheel arches, off side corner, replaced all window and winscreen seals, both gutters that I had to make myself, the centre section as you have, all window apertures required inserts, new battery tray and various holes gaiters and seals. Im now nearly in a position to get an MOT fingers crossed keep it up

Amazing. Though you've put me off investigating my odd little bubble . Good Luck to ya.
