Great thread. Again. I'd be interested in a link to a decent Ariel as alternative choice to BW. Need a wing mount for the Doka. (Panel van is roof mounted - would this been a later mod or choice from new., or even geographical?, panel from Finland, Doka from Germany) Anyhow..... Great insightful van work and jam making Mike

Well about the last few public pics before its put together,
the roof front was badly faded out which is why half the front interior had to be removed to gain access to the screws securing the horsehoe down
now well covered in glossy

now with the seals cleaned and refitted. i have used ss screws as this is then good for our days through

front panal minus the annoying dint

fr panal happer, we have given it a very light coat of fine panalguard as this is an added layer of protection, it has the big bumpers so not easy to get at to clean

remember this faded area that max pointed out and you werent too bothered about.

side is ok now and the red is looking good

these next 2 better show the window reveals that were a bit skanky

CLUE

teasing and appealing to your weaker side here

ahh

thems nice looking blingers
now the nice bit sticking the rest together

well it wasnt really really bad before was it, annoying dings and bits and bobs, anyhow it will certainly polish up well if your inclined to wax it.
when i get the new ss side bars made up you will no doubt be wanting a pair, especially the ones with side lights in the blingy ends. sorry I shouldnt i know..
