today has seen some progress
more than yesterday when the damn thing wouldnt start (turned out to be the kids had left the light in the back on all night)
two flat batteries and a parking ticket later my m8 rescued it
so today the n/s front wing & arch section have been fitted
the panels wernt the best fit ive ever seen but once the arches have been built for the big wheels you wont see them
i didnt put the whole panel that goes down the door just the outer lip as the rest was ok
will post some pics soon
if its got tits or wheels its always gonna end in trouble !!!
anyone can restore a van but it takes a real man to chop it up !!!

i should have the back half and roof of a lwb semi high top next week
so just gotta buy a cheap dog around motor then i can start
not sure weather to weigh the tax in and re tax it once ive done it rather than have it sitting around wasting 6 mths tax
