hi soz ive been busy last few weeks

working day and night repacing the floor and chasssis on the van as it was rotten.and its been a nightmare god knows how many spot welds ive drilled out of mine and the donor van . the bonnet was simple to do if your any good with a welder and grinder and a lot of elbow grease rubbing down and shaping. i can take some pics as im half way through doing another one for the van with the f50 bonnet vents on it rather than spoiling the one thats on it

tranny mhan keep watching this post my van is gonna be well pimped

and thanks to all you guys for the complements

i should have the floor and chassis done this week then. ill be either putting the body kit on or putting the v8 in not sure yet

Mate We're ALL watching

[dangeeeeerousss]

hi andy

cheers mate its been a while lolthe vans coming along slowly lol its totally gutted at the min but its getting there i just wish id noticed the chassis before i did all the other work on it but sh@t happens . done anymore to yours?

[AndyG]

Apart from clocking it up to 86,000miles no

I have two vents in the nearside, one official and one unnofficial


Sorry to hear about the chassis/floor

[dangeeeeerousss]

86000 ithink mines only just done that
i thought id mentioned the floor before .i was trying to get it ready for billing bonfire do but its been a bigger job that i first thought as are most jobs

[dangeeeeerousss]

hi
just a couple of pics of the new bonnet unfinished to to give one transit a rough idea of how its done!.







put about a 10mm lip folded under so theres its no sharp edges and dont forget to remove any rust before fillering as i have to do(its only suface rust where ive had it stood outside).
then its a bit of elbow grease to flat down.
The f50 vents were more difficult instead of just sticking them on like most ive seen i cut slits in the bonnet and pushed the edges into the slits then bonded themand then fillered around so they look part of the bonnet . the main problem is to keep the vents the shape they are as the transit bonnets quite curved mainly towards the front and the vents are for fairly flat bonnets they were distorting badly and took a while coz of this but that problem is now cured. i know its not everyones cup of tea but im starting to see it come together now! THEN THE V8 ENGINE!!! cant wait

[chadmat]

Cool, hope it all goes ok.
That bonnet looks mint.
Top job fella
