Small amount of restoration...

Wow - coming on leaps and bounds.
I hope you have a locking mechanism on the table leg - hate to see the leg get knocked and everything slide off it!!!

Yes it does lock upright, but it's not all that robust.

LED lights installed. Damn just noticed, I should have lined them up with the floor tile joins!

The van came with this awning, I have never put it up before. Was easy to do and looks good. You know what I may just sleep in it!

Just caught up on your build - lovely work! I especially like the interior changes!

Doesn’t look too bad. What are you going to do with it?

Yes it's in good nick, here it is cleaned up and sprayed with rust eater undercoat. I'll probably get the compressor out, prime it then do it black. Another option is to just clear coat it as is then dinitrol the whole thing in wax stuff. I guess it's going to get quite a few stone chips.

Mine was covered in Dinitrol but I didn’t like getting it on my hands etc whenever removing it to get to gear shift, hand brake etc. [emoji38]
Be interesting to see how durable the new powdercoat is when we allowed out to play !

I'll do a trial fit tomorrow, may have to raise the front a bit.

I don't think you'll need to raise the front, mine only hits on big speedbumps and steep ramps.

 

[fallingoffalot]

Ok cheers, yours looks a bit lower as well.

Best thing I bought the compressor, it was just a cheap one, but it's saved me a fortune. Now I've got a collection of primers, and colours for my van. Top tip, buy something like "Ford black" it's about 5 times cheaper than other colours and useful for this type of stuff.

Bellypan fitting....
The bellypan doesn't quite fit and it's in the way of the steering arm...
I suspect it's a LHD one, I guess I could butcher it with the angle grinder.

The picture is the top view and it looks like the cutout on the right is to accommodate the steering arm (for LHD), is this correct?

No cut out on my LHD pedal pan. View shows the underside.
