Ahhhh - man that non flush line would drive me nuts

Van collected for respray today at last.


Van in spray booth.


With the recent wet weather may need a couple of days to dry out.

Progress at last. If it's a decent spray booth it'll dry out very quickly. Bet you can't wait to see it in it's new coat

Todays progress. Filling & sanding started.


Evidence of previous accident damage to front drivers quarter. Couple of dents pulled out and skimmed over.


Rear drivers arch has had a panel fitted at earlier date. Accident or rot? Think it was probably accident damage as it as just fitted on top. Cannot see a join from inside.
Rear side window had pin holes at lower front corner. Rot cut out and plate welded in.


Passenger side looks straight and original.


Front panel had typical corrision at overlapped joint. Rust cleaned back and nothing perforated so it is being treated with rust inhibitor.

Filling & prep continues.

Front panel and windscreen surround.

Further photos from today.








New wheel arch.


First coat of filler primer.


Lower centre panel and rear arch repair.

Latest photos. Just in top coat.

Called back round and delivered windows & rubbers for refitting after cut & polish.

These photos show painted weld areas around windscreen.

Cant wait to get over and fit some bits to it! Think the lads are going to refit the windows for us as well (fingers crossed)

You must have that van!!! Nom nom nom !

Lush van chaps, still keeping yours Mark or swapping for this one?

Not 100% sure yet Sue although it will look smart once complete. We still have a long way to go before it's back on the road
