thats it ake :D - planned with military presicion or is it controlled chaos :lol:

we can work out a time line so we can see where we should be at certain times - the main one being actually spraying it - might have to be satarday night?? to allow it to be built back up sunday - it'd be nice to get access to an oven but mabe a few propane heaters on it over night would do the job :| we'll have to look into that one :!: which reminds me ................ anyone want to do the actual spraying of the van :?:

Can anyone offer to do a detailed filming of this job? I can probably get a webcam set up to take timelapse pictures but it would need to be a wide shot and in a static position. I could possibly sort a webcam live stream so other members can log on and view the work in realtime, but it would be a shame not to have a 'proper' camera filming as we go.

I have got a Sony PDW-F800 pro camera that we used for a tv advert but if we're doing it next year I might not be able to hang on to it for that long.

tbh alan as good as your filming/editing etc is i think your handywork on the van will be more in demand :mrgreen: :lol:

what we could do with for filming is somone who's good at it but no good at working on the van, but still wants to get involved with the project :D

what you are planning on doing will be awsome.
there are a lot of charities out there that will always need help from people like you, i have had help from a couple of good charities over the past 2 years and its amazing what they do.
i will see if i can get a tv crew interested as i think it was channel 4 that did donnas dream house on secret millionare which does a lot with pasic and click.
if you are stuck for a charity to donate to , i can honestly say that pasic and click sargent are 2 well worth while causes that help young children and familys with young children that are fighting cancer.
my youngest daughter was diagnosed with cancer last febuary and my eldest has just been diagnose with the cancer my wife has.

if you would like me to help in any way i will be more than willing , no matter what charity is chose.
