Hello guys,
We have another full restoration on the go at work, this time an Early Bay so will update progress on here incase you guys are interested.
As it came to us:
I love this van, has had its fair share of poor repairs over the years, but it don't seem too bad.
Some of the bad bits...
Loads of 'MOT patches', most of which have rotted through, such as:
Theres A LOT of filler in this van. I'm not too sure how anyone could repair the B post this bad?:
Anyway... We made a start stripping it down ready to go for blasting:
Found a few bad areas, such as the rear drivers side window frame:
And the seatbelt mounts pretty much fell apart:
Then we got it onto the castors / roller ready for blasting. Still need to get the dash and electrics etc out:
Thats pretty much where we are at the moment, should be going for blasting next week
Cheers
