Luv your work Dave, do you think she sits low at the back or do you think thats right?

HI and thanks all for your feedback.
I used to think it looked low at the back myself untill i took lower skirts off and it appeared to look level.
Itd an optical illlusion and the rear arches are lower on the wheels that the front so itl ooks low.
Ill try to find a photo.

I've read this post from start to finish tonight and loved every page, brilliant work, where a lot of folk would have been disheartened and given up.

Thank you very much for your comments, it sure has been a labour of love.

Cheers matey, well if i cant get the hand job down to a fine art at my age i never will. Lol.

These euroliners are are beginning to sting my pocket now as the early transit fittings are no longer availabe ex stock. So i have had to get them specially made so thats another £40 on top of the price of the trims.

[davev6newman]

Now thats more like it. Almost 3 years and now its home where it belongs.

Just rewards for all your hard work there

Make sure that you bring plenty of tea bags to Transitmania, you know that we will all be around for a cuppa!

[davev6newman]

Catering box of teabags always at hand, dont you know
Can only be there for the sunday as wont be back from camping in it until the sat. Happy days!

[davev6newman]

So....Finally i got the Euroliners to fit and give it that added bling.



That is really all i can do to it now and that concludes the restoration.

Thanks for everyones help and support nd i cant stop looking at it now its outside my house. Loads of people have come up to me and commented on how good it is and cant beleave i done all the interior, but to be quite honest neither can i I look at and it and it looks like someone one else done it. ive suprised myself really at what i have achieved.

i will be at Gaydon and Transitmania so hope to see you there

But not to let the dust settle and to keep me busy over the coming months (years) i bought another camper to restore.

Its a 1970 Mk1 Jennings Roadranger V6







Madmark put me onto it and bieng a V6 i couldnt resist it for £800.

Lets the games begin!! lol

[davev6newman]
