Van back from Paint, now where are all those bits..

Post by 100leelee »

Got the van back from paint.. all those hours over the past 15 months cutting out, scraping under seal off and welding new panels all seems worth it..
time to buy new bits and use as many of the old bits ( if I can find them!) and put her back together!!

Looking good mate! Can't be anything better than a freshly painted bus coming back from the bodyshop! :ok

Mine's going in again sometime in Jan/Feb to get the next instalment completed (front arches/front window panel/new windscreen with a blue tint/repairs to side window surrounds) - getting some other bits of tidying to be done as well.

Yep, couple of panels to paint internally, plus waxoyl so hopefully will last another 32 years...!!
