Cheers Grazy ,yeh it's turned into a hefty job for sure considering there's no rust .I think it will look a nice honest panel once done.
Cheers Ja

Few more updated pics for the thread .Hopfully another month and I will finally have it back home to start fitting some of the nice pieces I've collected back on .Plus a whole heap of wax oiling .














Looking forward to seeing it in its new Fontana L595 grey coat .
Time ,price and patience have run away ,let's hope it's worth it !

That will look sweet when finished - great work on the body and undercoat

 

[fozworth]

Cheers ,I hope looks good as it's now tipped over 6k for this paint job !

 

[who?1]

You have been busy, it looks super straight. Hope you haven't got kids ready and waiting to park a bike against it when it's done!

Lol ,I've got a 8 year old who I'm sure won't want to be all presious with it .To be honest I want a nice usable van and not a show trophy .I personally love the true patina look ,but unfortunately this panel was in a tired 8-10 year old paint job ,so I had to make a choice .Just wish it hadn't gone way above the original figure I had hoped to spend on the paint .The trouble is when that happens aside from being painful on the pocket not to mention stressful ,is that you find your self being quite picky over details that on a 3.5k job you would live with .
Will update once it has the first coat of grey which I believe is inside the bus before outside.
