Offside primed and ready - new rear doors waiting to be primed and nearside still to be prepared (new wing and some sills):


Wife already planning first outing - Spain via France in July!

Hi Colin
Just wondered if your paint job had been done? Looking forward to seeing some pictures.

Regards

[ColinJack]

Don't go there!
Went up there today and still waiting for one of the back doors. He reckons it should be finished within 2-3 weeks (mind you previous estimate was end of May!). We have a tunnel booking for mid July for our trip to Spain and want a practice run first, so hope it will be done soon!

[transitandy]

Hope it gets sorted for you m8

[AlanN]

Hope your going to back in time for Transitmania, would love to see your project

Just found my van advertised on here by the previous owner!

Someone missed a bargain:

[ColinJack]

Finally got all the pieces together - had a job finding a nearside rear door but now ready to prime nearside.




Doors are ready for painting and hopefully van will be too by end of the weekend!
Been a long wait but finally can see the end of the tunnel.

[AlanN]

Love it when its close to paint, bigger pictures please

[ColinJack]

Will get some nice big ones of the old girl in her new frock - can't wait!
Nice to see her rust free now ... been a while!

[ColinJack]

And were are off and spraying!


All doors inc bonnet are now sprayed up. Hopefully bodywork this weekend. Colour looks really good.

[ColinJack]

At last! Collected her today - got the weekend to get her sorted and then leave for Spain Tuesday!
Looks splendid ... big pics!







Well pleased!

[AlanN]

Shes lookin real fine in her new frock, hope you can make a trip to Transitmania

Shame we can't make Billing (other family commitments) but starting some updates on the Magic Bus after our fantastic road trip through Europe.

Better sound system arriving this week (Alpine setup off FleaBay) along with some clear indicators (I think they will look better with that paintwork). Also another cigarette lighter unit to feed the 12v icebox that goes between the seats to hold the cold coolies!

Back doors need realigning - can post letters through the gaps at the moment but other than that just tweaking.

Vaguely considering fitting a turbo (we had a queue of tankers behind us going up the Pyrenees), but don't want to risk blowing up a very sweet engine.
