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 :D

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
Image
now with the seals cleaned and refitted. i have used ss screws as this is then good for our days through
Image
front panal minus the annoying dint
Image
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
Image
remember this faded area that max pointed out and you werent too bothered about. :wink:
Image
side is ok now and the red is looking good
Image
these next 2 better show the window reveals that were a bit skanky
Image
Image
CLUE
Image
teasing and appealing to your weaker side here :rollin
Image
ahh
Image
Image
thems nice looking blingers
now the nice bit sticking the rest together
