[m99abe]

Had it a nearly a year now, not done nowt with it bodywork wise, I let the winter have a chew at it and since tax out now its off the road now and not going back on till bodywork fresh and finished. Have not got any ideas set in stone but more than enough of them to hopefully make a nice van!!











One thing sick ov my little girl saying " look Daddy theres another white van like yours" so lets see!!! New colour coming up!!

Not had much time but done a few jobs the day, one of worst parts of the days corrosion was the roof seam, stooopppppiiiiidddd idea total lack of sealer here.



Ground back treated and plenty seam sealer.



Postie fetched these this week!



Starting to look a little sad now.



But dogs were happy as pigs in pooooop the day playing in the van.

[m99abe]

Well here we go, chosen colour done mirror cap as a test, love it, need to pull finger out get repairs done and get it hit.





Some tricks and twists for roof etc

nice choice of colour

[m99abe]

Well thank you, roof and a pillar trims and number plate\handle going anthracite just to break it up, just need to convince meself this is the right colour, as I can do it any colour I want! Even looked at black chrome!!!! Now that would set it out from the rest. But really happy with colour and it standard ford shade which makes me happier 2
