[QUOTE="Air Cooled Rookie, post: 633046, member: 933"] With most of the welding on the lower part of the van complete, I started to think about preparing the body for paint. Part of this included removing the Devon pop top. Which of course, revealed more rust. Luckily though, and almost uniquely for this van, it wasn't as bad as it could have been. The oak frame within the fibre glass surround had rotted substantially in the bit that goes across the front of the roof, so I used what was left of the old one as a pattern to make a new piece up. Luckily I had some old oak lying around from a job it did on the house years ago. For some reason, I didn't take any photos of this repair. [/QUOTE]
