got the van striped down found this interesting design on the front panel i think someone forgot the bumper had to go back on.

finally got the inner front panel off

had a small fire while welding this and the loom caught fire

front panel on

been geting my moneys worth out off my grinding wheels

 

[pando]

so just about finished the welding.done a battery tray repair panel a few years ago from what i can remember it took lots of swearing to remove no different this time.got to give the cunning kiwi who repaired it before me this mesh quick fix has worked fine for a good few years

both sills on

 

[Digdug]

Hey Mate, hows it going? Good to see some progress but the clock is ticking....get on with it!!! Have you tackled the drivers side sill yet? Help yourself to anything you need at my place...

 

[pando]

[Digdug]

[pando]

had not had much time since the miss got back .a couple off weeks ago managed to get the van painted and mostly back together in the six weeks, having a oil spill on the beach which meant no surfin helped me to realy get stuck in to the van will post some pics soon
