Hi everyone - I am hoping you can help..
I bought a fairly rustic early bay 3 years ago and saved for two years to restore it. Last year I checked my van into a local restorer and just last week I got it back. From a distance it looks good (or so I thought) but on closer inspection I think that the finishing is a bit poor but I wanted to see what other forum users think..
On the ground the main points I have noticed are:
1. The doors are difficult to close
2. The sliding door is dropped
3. The seals are exposed under the sliding door, around the tailgate, by the windows in front of the vents, on the engine lid
4. When you close the tailgate the seal hangs out and seems scrunched up
5. the pop top seal is not completely round - there is a gap
6. On the passengers side under the sills two ends of metal can be seen which can't be seen on the driver's side
7. Where the panels meet has been filled in and then now sanded out properly
I have uploaded some pictures to photobucket at:

I would really appreciate if you could let me know what you think?
