Great progress pics! Is it coming along as planned or have had any unexpected set backs?

unexpected set backs ,just didnt realise how long it would take to get most of the roof done,and was told most of my interior in the front has to come out for the front windscreen bits to be done and i have to wait 2 more monthes before it goes back in again, i just want it licenced,it goes over the pits again soon

No it wouldn't have come standard it would have been done by the previous owner prob first owner...it would have had a vinyl hoodlining exactly the same as the one in the rear, it ran right through....have a look at our van interior, in blackouts thread....good progress on your van, what colour have you decided to spray it....

thank you for that,i still want the windsor blue ,although i can never make my mind up with cars,things always changed last minute

must agree I do like the blues myself! HZ DY4 is the best looking stripe colour also.

hey guys just a lil bit of an update,had the car go over the pits this week,2 things still to fix,number plate light and reverse lights,going to try again next week
wish me luck
il be getting a few more things done till i can get it in the panel beaters again

also got my sandman grill and getting restored and repainted,the silver bits around the outside are abit dented up,not sure if i can get them fixed,i know i can get a hx grill through rare spares for around 80 bucks,is it worth just getting that and swapping the bits over?and would they fit?

Well done, it's a lot of hard work restoring these vehicles, but well worth the effort. Thank's for sharing the progress photo's.
