Stumbled across this today and it got me thinking.
Has anybody restored a van from this condition before?

That is pretty far gone although this rare splitty was worth the effort in someones eyes!

Never seen that!
Makes you wonder what a vans history is worth though.

Some of the barndoor bus restorations are mind bending!

I hate to say it but a 70 bay may not be as worthwhile...

David Halls Splitty?

Early bays might get to the point where they are as expensive/worth it as these?

a drop of T-cut and a DA and it will be like new! :rofl:

Reminds me of this little shit who used to rip up and down outside my house in a shitty sierra with a straight through pipe. i called him out over it as the kids werent sleeping because of him. Next thing i know theres a picture of it on instagram wrapped around a tree and a caption "do you think it will polish out?"

talk about Karma.... it was a great big :fyou: to him

And there's me worrying about stone chips and which wax to use. I have to say that there must surely be better starting points out there. £1000 for a number plate and V5 makes me wonder........
