With only a couple of weeks before Transitmania, Fordboynick made me an offer I just couldnt refuse, Im thinking it could be a little tight, let the magic begin...

Starting with a dodgy pattern rear lower quarter, that didnt fit, but after some brute force, panel beating and a little filler, OK lot!!!
I had to basically rip out most of the interior, but I did have plans to change it anyway, but will have to happen over the winter.

Most of the filler is now a pile of dust :wink: honest :lol:

Chucked a pair of new rear doors on too

My van bites back

"Plenty of time yet", said Nick, lets keep going, big thanks to Nicks Dad for collecting a wing and arch and bringing it up from Kent the next day 8) The pattern one just would not fit, this one was a bit better, at least it went on, but had to be built up in areas to get the door gaps right.
