More holes

Thanks Jay its a pleasure to be looking after your bus mate, ultimately we're all in this scene as it all starts the same way as a hobby and our passion. The more I peel back the sealer stuck in holes and fake tin stuck over rotten original chassis members the worse I feel for you guys and the more anger I feel towards whoever did this dishonest cover up. But we're best to forget them and enjoy moving forward, I can't wait to move it forward for you and see the smiles when its all done. I'll send you some more pics a bit later buddy.

Oh good...........I'm glad to see she is in good hands

Phil.

Some fresh blasting pics to see the progress thus far

More of the same. That black under coat was hiding mor holes than a Thailand whore house.
It shows that in some places the only way to restore is to replace.
It was found that the bar code sticker and price tag were not even removed by the previous owner before fitting.

Christ i find it hard to believe its the same vehicle!!

Yeah, believe me im finding it hard to believe ! All that shines is defo not gold.
In some ways i am not to bothered. the reason is once this van is completed i will know every inch of it and know the work carried out is 100% and legit. There will be no issue unresolved and as it is the one were keeping i will have peace of mind.

Still trying to figure out which way to take it...........................
Bigger engine?
Disc brakes?
lowered v std height?
all questions im sure will just fall out as time goes on.
One things for sure its going to be used ...........alot!

only thing for me is standard colours and a correct looking interior, after that anything goes!

Thats the way it is going. Going to stay Og colours and a closest to Og interior as i can. However it may loose a few inches of the top and be pushed along slightly faster than god intended!

Holy bondo batman ,that step is a doozy!!!!!!!!! You are doing the right thing,looking forward to seeing it done correctly.

Haha that step is a work of art. I've just spent literally 10 minutes admiring that.

THIS STEP................... OMG!!
Its the worst pic I've ever seen on a bus! no joke! - just..........wow!

It's wiped out all the Southern Hemispheres stock of bondo!!

More stripping and crying!!

Did you ever get back in contact with the old owner??
