my ex german mk1 fire van 1970

[madmark]

its a great shame why they dont let you in anymore these places are getting all the same now

[Vandalism]

im glad the one i go to you can do what you like but for how long......

[Vandalism]

a week to go before the show and this is the point we are at - convertion done - just fiddeling about to do











all holes in bulkhead plated over and screwed down - the aluminium sheet is just placed over the hole where the dash dial use to be just as a tempry job - double seat in

theres a little list of things left to do - its going to be tight but we aim to work on it at the weekend and early part of next week - full days no slacking

note the saab v4 in pic 2 - the guy might be interested in my engine once ive finished with it
wonder what its worth

[Luke]

nice progress

[Vandalism]

it will be the tattyest van at the show...but never the less it will be there and thats the main point

[pat stevens]

nice work ,always look better rhd ,

[madmark]

wow but i bet it owes you alot of money now still least the steering wheels in the corect place

[Vandalism]

im well pleased with the progress - but im sure the cost will bring me back to earth again

[pat stevens]

whatever the cost its worth it when you first get it on the road
once you turn up to your first show with it whatever its cost you will be forgotten with the buzz youll get outa it
i wont work out how much ive spent on mine in case it frightens me ,all as i know it wouldnt be cheap and your paying someone to do it for you
so you have added expence but the workmanship is exelent theve done for you

[Vandalism]

i know what you mean - i dare not look at the cost sheet either i have an idea tho of what it will say
i might have been able to do it my self..but i doubt it so i gave the job to the people as i know their work well and its top class where as i might make mistakes...yes mistakes are part of learning but i dont want to make a mistake on somthing like..the steering arm bolt or somthing

[Vandalism]

heres a sneak peek at thinks to come

[blue estate]

It will look better on a van

[Vandalism]

all in good time they where only finished today

[madmark]

Very nice

[Vandalism]

well ive been working my ass off all week on the van and ive got a lot done as you can see..i sprayed the bare matal panles with High Etch Primer fitted the lights and front bumper so the front is now complete - now just have to work on the back











well i think my spray job on the front is damn good seeing as i did it by hand with a spray can - also the 8 wheels are now painted - 6 on the van and 2 spares ill be working on it for the rest of the week so might not be on here so much (shock horror) - the van now has its reg plates in place aswell

bumpers wont be painted by gaydon as time is to tight but..theyre on and thats what counts
