pats new project watch this space

[pat stevens]

havnt done too much as mates are about to move units
besides clean the welds up underside and seam seal joints
i bought a adaptor plate to put a di into a v8 landrover so it should work the other way round
worth a gamble at £56 off ebay

[pat stevens]

havnt done anything on van this week
except drive it from cannock to stafford some 5/6 ish miles
well pleased how it drives bit under powerd with the diesel
so bought a rover v8 today off ebay collected it this afternoon
now just gotta see if my idea of reversing the di into v8 rangerover plate works the other way round

hows it coming on pat?

[pat stevens]

progress should be moving at a faster pace over the next week or so
had a load on but gotta make some van time
waiting for adaptors to be finished then can get the wheels on the back to build arches
got the steel to smooth the sides and two new sections to replace the middle body line
as i wasnt happy with the one where i joined it
so im gonna cut the whole section out and replace it on bolth sides
ill load some pics soon (new phone gotta work out how to use it lol)

after been so busy yesterday managed to get a day on van
the body line i wasnt happy with so i cut another section from a van




grafted it in so the line was perfect



then used the sheet steel i bought to smooth the side

was a complete arse to get right but worth all the effort
also gives the side more strength as well as smooth looks
still waiting for adaptors so i can do arches

[pat stevens]

pat brill work as norm and be assured the best vans dont get drawn just get built

[pat stevens]

your prob rite there m8

[pat stevens]

spent a day yesterday just finishing off the side panel i had started to smooth out
one of those jobs where you spend all day and it looks like youve done nothing
but that ones now ready for filling and sanding
still waiting for adapters for my wheels supposed to have been done for end of june
phoned him yesterday and hes on holiday for 2 weeks (major set back )
so still cant get the rear arches sorted
but theres still plenty of other stuff i can be doing

[pat stevens]

got motivated today
as it was raining i decided to have a few hours on van
so got round to cutting down the side door


so it now hinges from the top after cutting the lower section off

tomorrow should see the bottom of the door sorted
and hopefully the lower section welded into position
