Hi guys , Well here we go , I have had this van for a couple of years and had great fun in it ,
I bought the van from a guy in Portugal , and it was never going to be as rust free as a California bus but it was a great price and the paintwork and originality were key factor in buying it , However the Portugese climate is similar to England so there were a few rust issues with the van but not enough to fail the MOT ,until August this year ,
So with the fail sheet in my hand I decided to take the van off the road on do the work needed to get it road worthy again .
This thread will be quite a long one as i intend to get as much of the 40 year old underseal off and get the underside looking tidy and solid so I should not have to do it again .
Once welding has been done i shall be installing headliner , split charge system , rock n roll bed etc etc .
Look forward to your comments and advice cheers enjoy Graeme 8)
In a nice dry garage 8)
In good company
