Hi mate, I will be speaking to BillyBoy again tomorrow, was hopeing to get a date before Weald, but it looks like after that now.

Thanks for the wood offer mate, I am sure that the interior crew will find it most useful.

Right people, Billy Boy has kindly agreed to have the van for the next makeover, date to be arranged, but coming soon!
Guy88 has kindly offered to arrange the transportation of the van from Reading to Billy's place in Northampton, nice one mate.

What we need to do now is contact the chaps in Reading, our previous 'hosts', thank them very much for storing the van and arrange to get Guy down there with one of his trucks.

Billy has offered the use of his painting facilities, so since we need to paint the roof of the van I am hopeing to get a 'paint crew' together for the next build.

Anyone is welcome to attend and get involved, the opportunity to play a part in this project will be there for all.
If you wish to attend and spend some time painting the roof of the van then now is your chance.
This would be an ideal opportunity for any of you wishing to 'have a go' at spraying, a chance to learn some skills that will assist you with work on your own van, all carried out under 'adult supervision'!
