[nwarren72bay]

Picked up the camper from the bodyshop today, so happy with it, thought id put a few before and after pics up


This is jus after i baught her last september





After a few days of vleaning her up





The van come without bumpers so that was the first job, baught this original battered front bumper





and after i did abit of tinkering, hammering, sanding, filling and spraying






The engine wernt in bad condition, but i had a few oil leaks, so had new engine oil and flywheel seals fitted, along with an engine and brake overhaul.


Next come the fun part, the bodywork =), after taking her to several places for quotes and being told that the bodywork was completely out of shape and that it was full of filler i was gutted and thought id baught a right shitter, lol. Decided to go with 3 lions in romford that turned out to be excellent, show so much pride in there work and were so into the project and really cared about it.

Stripping down and filler,lol




My rusty , holey front end







Straightened, smoothed , welded and filled








Starting to look good
After more smoothing ,primer and with the top half painted







Looking brand new




After full paint








After reaseembling and after putting my new bits on today, more to go on tommorow











Wheels , lowering and interior next lol
