Had an epic drive to the Forest of Dean on Saturday morning :shock: massive snow and blizzards but it was worth it as the Van is now sitting in a nice warm paint shop getting prepped for paint :mrgreen:

Just out of interest, where are you getting the work done in the F.O.D? Is it someone you have used before? Always good to know as i'm not too far. Thanks, Seb.

A guy called Chris at Allimax, top work by a top dood! really nice work that i have seen. Hold on a few weeks and I post up his work on my bus and you will see for yourself. 8)

Is that the Alimax that build and prep all the gnarly Old Ford rally cars?

He did a lot of work on my old Mk1 - top dood.

Thats the chap, he is branching out into the VW world as he has got into restoring some really nice old Mk1 escorts and loves the resto work, so..........bang here i am! i have a few of my mates vans lined up for some work, but am using mine as the guinea pig :shock: ;) 8)
 
Quick Update - All the windows are out, doors off, bumpers off, lights out, grinding and sanding beginning :shock:

The good news is the few rust bubbles that I had were only surface so not bad atall :mrgreen: dont even need any repair panels, just a small 50p section welded in ;)

Got some new bits going on - rubbers and new washer jets and seals 8)

I wouldn't stress to much, he's a skilled man, and I'm sure your bus will look rad when done, are you doing anything radical, or is it just a refresh?

Dude, too many posts on your thread with no pictures, I'm getting disappointed. At least post a pic of some hot chick until your bus returns :lol:
