Thought the skylight looked bit dodgey, just realised the inner frame is missing, so come tomorrow's downpour my van will be flooded

Looking good so far, but you gotta sort that out or get a mop !

Not a drip has come through so far. Took it back & they swore blind they didn't know what I was talking about & hadn't seen the missing part, even though I've a pic of it in their workshop when the roof was on the floor I'm to get a complete new skylight & they will stick it in for me & put the metal plate on to secure doors (I'm too tiny to reach up & thud it at the top to slam the doors shut ) It's a pity I have to buy a completely new skylight when it's only a thin piece of plastic frame I need, but there ya go....

Does this look right? Shouldn't there be another frame arount the outer edge? Anyone got a pic of their's for comparison?

That aint at all right mate im afraid,,, theres an outer cowl missing ,, also the vent is sittin in a recess, which can only gather water ,, the cowl should cover that ,, then the main part of the vent (top) shrouds / skirts over it

Photobuckets gone tits up on me but here ,,, first photo has a cowl where yours is missing m8 .

Ta mate, thought that was it. Graham from Bodytech, who did the conversion, said the skylight fell off when he removed the roof off my green van. So the cowl must have gone missing in the debris of workshop life

I'll just have to get a complete new skylight methinks

Here's a few more close up pics of detail....










And here she is all green & blue Who cares...it's good to have parts of my beloved old Rusty Green mixed in





I need the sealing strip for round the windows if anyone's got one?



Dont know what all the fuss was about with you lot saying it was a mad idea Looks straight forward to me Cost me the best part of a grand, but its because she's worth it

Got to work on some rusty patches today while the weather's good

Only one hole on passenger side, driver's side very surface rust. Arches really solid, even the back ones...this van's a real gem









Hopefully get that little hole filled tomoz, before the winter weather is back, dont get many chances like this do we?

You've got lots of time. Look what's going to be holding me up This is what me & Henry found on our morning's excavation work, in between tripping up old ladies & toddlers on scooters with the extension lead and amidst the snotty looks from politically correct, wage slaves, in pseudo "I've got loadsa money, wanna be Mercs" but really only Megannes, but very perfectly hygienic & modern they are too..













How can you tell if its a chassis weld? Anyone?
