Chassis went back to panel shop today for body to be put back on and also to have the spare wheel winch bar welded back on. have been sweating on a rubber mount kit since last wed from Harrison's who had told me they sent it although I was sceptical, anyway got back onto them yesty and it had returned to them with my address missing from box, so they sent it express yesterday and received it today just in time, panels are getting some lovely Valencia Orange tomorrow so will be heading up to the panel shop for some more pics, Chassis received 2 coats of PORS15, all new front end kit bushes, ball joints, front discs etc fitted, new pedders shocks all round, brake calipers sent off with master cylinder for reco, have rear brake kit also will do that later when van back home.

Body back on today, van in primer ready to be rubbed back, some colour has been put on the tailgates and front nose clip, next week is looking like a big week in regards to paint then back home and the long process of putting back together.

At long last some colour on the van this week, the panels had been painted about 2 months ago but finally the body cops some of the shiny stuff, its great to see the transformation from nothing to something hopefully the next couple of months will get a kick on and see some real progress.IMG_1718.jpgIMG_1719.jpgIMG_1720.jpgIMG_1721.jpgIMG_1722.jpg

Hi Hj308 looks great,just a quick question how did you fix the rust holes on the front of the roof did you cut it out or weld up the holes as mine has the same small holes as well.

Great work!

Looks fantastic. Great feeling when you see that colour go in isn't it?

Keep up the great work.

Looking fantastic. I wonder why it has had a sedan differential housing fitted?
