Redcube camper damper

[redcube]

Well i'm finely starting my camper van conversion heres the van

Well this are some of the bits I'm keeping from the caravan that me and Dirtydiesel smashed up last Saturday


Well at long last the body work starts well one wheel arch as started with the help of my dad will get around to the other side and some point

The home made wheel arch is going i will miss it anyone want to by it


What it was like behind the home made wheel arch


I got to play with the air chisel

After a few seconds with the air chisel i had this

Cat making a break for it before the sparks start

Had to cut the wheel arch to fit

And more cutting

Wheel arch all weld up

Here my dad working on a merc had to do some welding to the front his using a grinder and having a fag at the same time

My dads cortina his been rebuilding for years now on the right in gray

Its sitting this low

A thought for the day

If smoking near petrol is so dangerous why did they bother to invent the carburettor ?

Have a nice day

A slow day today as i had to get some more parts made a start on the drive side wheel arch which was solid car one hole so i decide i have a look at the odd mark down the side of the van tap it with a hammer and the hole side fell of it was filled with filler and yet there was good metal under neat only had a big dent on it so going to try and straight it a bit and the put a skim of filler over it not a truck load of filler more picture tomorrow going to be doing some body mod as well might flush some bit remove a bit here and there who knows i'll keep u post
and when this is done its on to the inside i was thinking pink seat pink dash

Grinder a mans best friend i plan to make a bad boy bonnet and flush the back door where the number plat is, flush all the seams in the body work i might go so far and remove all the window mark out on the side of the van so it will be flush and smooth now wheres the power tools i have some cutting to do

If you want me dad do any major body work on your van Dirtydiesel i can ask him he most likely say yes and ya his well stock up on tools well over 30 years of tool in there
