Herman's welding and paint job...after years of planning

[Mark Foss]

Looking good Marcus!

It's not the sort of colour that I was expecting when you first mentioned it. Will be good to see the two blends revealed. Need some shinney new alloys now!

[Vdub89]

Hi Mark,

Yep the colour is a weird one, it will look darker indoors, almost a slate grey...but in the light it should be almost a primer grey/blue. It's quite a unique colour which is why I picked it. In terms of the wheels, I have a plan...all should be revealed in final photos

We will have to have a run out so I can show the van off at some point, with all the salt on the roads it may have to be up my neck of the woods. Drove to teeside with work today on A19 and car was black...only washed Sunday !

[Vdub89]

Hot off the press, can finally see the two colours... Really happy! What do people think?









Can't wait to see all finished in day light!

Looking smart there VDub - bet you can't wait to get it back!

[Vdub89]

Thank you 300 CE, yes I am ridiculously excited. Waited along time for this so can't wait to pick up Saturday!

[Mark Foss]

Like the look Marcus.

Now needs a run out to Jeffs for fish n chips, then Springdub and Mightydubfest etc etc

Must get mine sorted.

Hi Mark,

No problem there, plenty of run outs planned. Going to do the swanage 80-90 meet in Dorset at Easter, camperjam, dubfest...will look into spring dub but think it may be my birthday weekend and I have plans.

I am up for a run out to Saltburn, could maybe do next weekend potentially on way back from collecting the van...will have to wait until dates are confirmed etc. I was going to collect tomorrow but the van is going to go to Gasure for a few extra mods instead.

Cheers

Marcus

Hi David,

Yes they are just round the corner from Gasure. Steve has been brilliant actually at Gasure, he has used them a fair bit over the years and suggested I gave them a go. He was right, very happy so far!

When I dropped my van off they had just finished a bay window and that looked good, plus they were on with another T 25.

Do you have contact details?

cant find them on google and looking to get my van painted too.

cheers,

Garry

Hi Gary,

Yes sure the guy is called Kevin, his number is 07535 131999. I mentioned I would be putting photos on the forum so he won't mind calls to his mobile. They work Saturdays till lunchtime.

Cheers

Marcus

Marcus

Its looking good.

[Vdub89]

Thanks Jeff,

I am really happy with it, wish I was collecting it today, but good things come to those who wait...so will have it back next week.

Don't suppose you or anyone else knows where to get the little black strip on the top of sliding door cover from? It was brittle and cracked when came off, the only casualty but I imagine it is like the gutter trims and quite hard to find?

Jeff we will have a run down to show you the van soon

Cheers

Marcus
