Just got the latest update from the body shop.
Things are coming on well. so far the only wet rust found is on both cab steps, so these will be replaced when i've sourced some new ones.
all windows are now out, and no major issues under any of the seals. just a whizz down, and maybe the odd pinhole here and there to weld up. so good news!
I've always known the van had had a bump on the front corner many moons ago. now know the extent of the damage and the bodge job in the states to repair it. basically the damage had been plated over and not properly sorted. this has now been pulled out, and done properly! and a new plate has been welded back in.
at this end, i now have a near complete westy interior to go in. just need to make a buddy seat now. although i'm not having a sink unit, as it takes up far to much room
after much pondering i have decided the interior will be trimmed in brick red with cream piping, and the bed will be pleated to match the front seats. so westy with a twist!
here's a few more piccys.
here's the plate.
this it what was underneath it!
this is it straightened out. it has now been welded up.
