Got quite a lot more done on the Bay. Here goes... Now the front chassis rails were repaired, I moved on to the A posts and front inner valance. The donor front cut was pretty good but parts of the inner front panel and A posts were rotten. A post repair section in place: With both front A...

Not much of an update, but the replacement chassis rails are welded in place :) The cuts were tacked in place, then the beam bolted on to check it was all OK. Three of the original mounting holes are used so it was only really one mounting hole that could be in the wrong place, and the outer...

moved onto the front end of the van. The original metalwork around the whole front of the van was really rotten, so we decided it would be best to remove it all and start with a Californian imported front body cut: We made a start cutting out the chassis rails and cab floor etc that were not...

VeeDubMan - Lol, but you gotta love a Dormobile. The inner repair section needed cleaning up, was fairly rusty inside Before: Back to bare metal before a coat of primer and paint, nice and solid: Did the same with the outer section: In place: Welded in and cleaned up, notice the repair...

Bit more done today... I got the battery tray spot welded in place first: Then made a start on the drivers side rear window frame. It was pretty bad, the outer skin was really rotten, but the inner skin was bad too... You can see both panels are rotten here: Made a start removing the outer...

Thats cool... When you have decided on a price, let me know, could be interested.

Got quite a bit of welding done, here goes... Started with the middle sill on the sliding door side. Kept as much of the original runner section as possible as the shape is loads better than the repro panels: Lining everything up before the inner sills were welded in place: Once happy, the...

Just a 4 pack? :lol:

Cheers for the comments guys. Yeah, it didnt look too bad before considering... Got some more done on it over the last couple of weeks :) I sorted the front panel from Taypic, cheers for the heads up Lee C. While I was waiting for that to arrive I made a start on cutting some of the other rot...

Got the van back from the blasters in a coat of epoxy primer - Its pretty bad. Before blasting we cut out the front panel, cab floor and some other sections of bodywork that we knew needed replacing so the blaster could get into the inner panels and box sections. We have loads of pics of the...
