i finally managed to start some work on the van today, weather held off after lunchtime,

The Belly pans where looking a bit suspect, so i decided to cut them off for further inspection.

new outriggers and jacking points needed on nearside.

Then i turned round to see i need new inner and middle sills, ah well little bit more welding..

also little bit of tophat required and a small repair plate just to close of sill at front wheel arch

right time to start updating again,


tomorrow i will add pics of the bus repairs i have done so far.

Nice to see both Herbie and your bus Jon - If Herbie is anything to go by the bus is going to be great!

A bit sick about the clock!!

If you needs any help with the wiring - I have a great looking loom arriving soon I could let go of the old one if you're desperate? :lol: :lol:

Guess what :

Panalvan's is the same month as well, don't know his chassis no. though.

Look fwd to seeing progress..
