Gutters & Battery Tray

[gninnam]

Well, fun today!
Noticed some bubbling on the gutters so decied to sand back the paint.
Well, ended up sanding the full length on one side :shock:
Treated the pits with Por Rust stuff, then added some skim.
Will sand tomorrow, then finished off - not sure if to spray or to roller the
paint on yet :?:

Bad news is that I replaced the rear light clusters today as well.
The drivers side was a bitch to remove, but once removed, the battery
tray showed me that all is not well

Think I will handle this over the winter as I want to try and use the van
this summer

Cheers

Not a pleasant surprise - but I've seen worse!
You're right to leave it 'til later in the year - that's a winter job!!!

Tray doesn't look too bad mate. Perhaps change the location of where to bolt the earth strap.

Defo change the strap location, but a wont be to bad to replace 8)

Will look to move the earth strap soon.
The gutters have now been done, with a touch of undercoat which just
needs sanding smooth and the top coat adding.
I have nearly finished the other side to, just needs the top coat and I
made good the roof area on the van where the poptop goes on and given
that a few coats of top coat - just needs flattening and polishing.

Will be polishing the poptop over the next few days, then adding all the
bits to it (windows, vents and rubber edging) then will have a go at
fitting the canvas :shock:
