1970 tin top westy resto

[LloydChristmas]

Having seen this van in the various stages during the resto, you're all right , its gonna be awesome. And if Dave or Joe find a marker pen it'll have show winner written all over it :lol: :lol: :lol: Joking aside saw this today while taking Joes engine back over, and the shiny stuff is on the roof and looking sweet as a nut .

Thanks for the feedback, really appreciate the comments.

Hopefully post some photo's of the shiny stuff soon.

What would that be at commercial rates ? About 10K ish ?

Couldn't possibly comment, but you may see me hanging around on street corners trying to pay for it (probably take as many hours as the prep)..... :roll:

Shiny stuff, roof...

..and the cab area....

..against black under the arches..

...in the cab itself..

...and against the engine tinware..

Compliments nicely.

3 coats of 2K followed by 3 coats of Lacquer. It'll be shiny alright.... :wink:

A job well done there Looking very nice and well worth all that effort you put into the prep job :wink:

Now comes the fun part of putting it all back together without chipping the paint :shock: Masking tape works well on edges to offer some protection when fitting doors etc.

 

[easy]

That's the ball breaker isn't it - I'm not so worried about it going back together OK, I'm more worried about what might happen to the first person that strokes a side panel with their ring finger...its only a bus, it's only a bus, it's only a bus........... BUT HEY , I can always rat it again!
can't I Dave? :twisted:

 

[Camperdan]

Fair play boyo's that is absolutely bloody marvellous. What wheels are going on her? now put the jigsaw back together. The paint looks awesome.....

 

[tintintin]

Thanks,

I'm staying with the solid steel 5's , they were in really good condition. Got them shot blasted and primed. They will be sprayed beryl on the inner ring and pastel white on the outer.

I'm still having a think about the tyre choice though, It'll be dropped two splines on the back and levelled , just not sure which size will best suit yet...

Want to know how we've done it? A herd of little Umpa Lumpa's turn up at around midnight and get to work...

They don't eat much, but they're thirsty little buggers...

The engine bay has now been done !

Picking up the gearbox from Cogbox next week, hopefully the rebuild will start at the end of the week...

 

[Grazy]

Looking good Will , Hopefully get to see it soon mate :roll:
