no, not slacking, busy making a new body parts for one i made some years ago is all
based on some drawing a french designer came up with, the trick was to blend his idea with what i had already done (the red)
and
usually these would be one off's and be a working panal but we are now moulding of it so its easier is some ways

Well its a van that could be driven as is for years to come but
we start with the usual innocuous front arch
and quickly move to the sill seam in all its glory
its all filler which was obvious
but
there is deffo something not right here
its had a bit of a chequered history as a dodgem car
its had a thump on this corner
theyve done a reasonable job of making good
and its had the usual "pooh" step repair ,no doubt as a result of the bump as well as rot,so that's all to chop out and do correctly.
oh and this is a bit tight,so will see about sorting it
there's loads more but not till i start proper
