the end is in sight now, i have learned so much this last year about bodywork,welding and so on,i have been quite lucky as the guy who done the resto is also a very good friend and he let me spend most of my free time working on the van with him.i stripped the van all but the engine out,he worked his magic with the welder,i done a lot of filling and rubbing down,basically all the donkey work but i have loved almost every minute of it,my only low point was when he informed me i needed a new rear roof section and they were slim pickings with prices over 250 quid :shock: ,but the fella at nosvw sorted me out one for 50(cheers dude sorry cant remember your name),top bloke very helpful.
my only problem now is getting enough free time to get it finished :x
