Bit of an update manage to get some time with the van last night, church key engine lid and valance trial fitted, just needed some persuasion with my size 10...
Stripes are slowly going
Last time the poptop was up before being removed and the bracing going in for removing the roof skin
Should have a few more updates on the roof removal over the weekend, should have a recent front, rear and middle section with the mountings for a Goldie sunroof from a samba

The rear and one side is now tidy and zinc painted ready for the roof,
Also have a samba type sunroof frame for sale, weirdly 6'' from one side has been removed, need some advise on what its worth
Should have more updates over the next few weeks, needs a roof on, engine built and an interior in 6 weeks for glastonbury
