Well, you blink and its 5 months later, but I've been working on a big battery project in NSW, and that's swallowed up the year very quickly. Still managed to keep the van project going though. The current goal is to finish painting the firewall, so i can put it together enough to drive it into its future paint booth location for its all over paint job.

On the paint front I did follow through with picking DNA candy base coat Tropical Green and that was a very expensive exercise. But I've now got 10L of colour and a bunch of white ground coat and clear etc. The van has had a few sessions of prep and the white ground coat is now on. The next step will be prepping and putting the colour on top. Pics as usual...

Session 1: Firewall is white.

Session 2: Getting rid of factory spot weld dimples. I didn't realise how much they stand out when some paint goes on.

Session 3: Then put white over that, and the pillars, and the inner door sections.
