Next i pulled it over the pit to have a look at the sills, they had already been cut out and half started, i had no idea of what the orginals looked like or where they ended up, horrible job not proud of the outcome but its welded up now atleast.
Did look better after a coat of paint and undersealant.
The previous owner had fitted new front wings, and had primered most of the cab. I had seen alot of posts over the years of poeple roller painting cars, as its cheap and can have good results. So stripped the cab of seals, bumpers, mirrors ect..
Bought paint, rollers and a brush for £40 started painting tonight, tbh the roller was crap even though i used foam. All it did was create bubbles unless i put on really thick coats and then it ran. Did try different amounts of thinners but didnt help to much.
Heres the first coat.
Tomorrow hopefully be able to flat it back and put on another coat, doesnt need to be mint, it looks better than primer anyway!

Only has single rear wheels, which although legally carries the weight, i dont think it looks great, and all that weight over 2 tyres doesnt fill me with confidence!
Collecting a rear end cut of a transit lwb twin rear wheel tomorrow so ill have all the bits to convert it to twin wheel.
Ill also be fitting a turbo at some point aswell!
Comments welcome! Thanks for reading
