AlanN's MK3 V6 Day Van

[ColinJack]

Now THATS a proper job looks Brilliant in the shiny black I didn't consider cleaning/preparing mine "by hand" just sent it to shotblaster's (the lazy option ) then painted it with a brush tho the next one(s) are goin to be blasted and powder coated (the even lazier way )

Alan is a perfectionist! Looks the dogs doesn't it?

Had some of the bolts replated and some new lock nuts. Stripped some more parts of the subframe assembly, had them in the derusting tank for a few days, which also helps to remove the original coating, I then painted them with zinc primer and again, as soon as I saw an opertunaty to have them painted, I mixed them in with other jobs!



Reassembled with new bushes and glossy 2pak paint



Ive started on the wishbones but it's really busy at work at the moment so little progress on those at present.

Just had a quick read through this project, amazing, just wish I still had a garage and a shed (and a house, but thats another storey!)
Have you looked into making up those rear lights ? would also be interested in the clear standard lenses as already have clear indicators on the front of mine.
Looking forward to more posts

[AlanN]

Thank you, not sure when I'll ever get around to finishing them, but there is a little welding to be done soon, plus the engine bay make over

Once the rush is over I'll get on with the wishbones

Just found this old mock up for my trailer, means making another roof spoiler and a couple of sets of lights, although I have collected a few parts for doing the job, wheels and tyres, new arch panels etc. its a way off yet. Need to find myself some space to make it in
