Do you think they will notice???

Wheels needed to get her mobile now the underside is somewhere near

That difficult detail sorted

The early floors gear and brake leavers are much further back than the later floors, as you can see the pressings in the floor lean the levers away from each othe


Work can start on the dog legs



Door gap took loads of jiggery poker!!!

I have been busy start of this week as one of me dogs had pups, lucky for me Arnie had been busy, I called in to pick up some parts for blasting and found that the dog legs were sorted, the door gaps looked lovely.

Looks more like a van now

Eye sockets in

Me bumper has been trapped on the other side of the world!!!!!
A word of warning
READ THE SMALL PRINT!!!!!!!
I bought a ribbed 57 bumper from Melbourne and me mates son picked it up for me,I had checked the postage cost on the OZ post quick calculator and it was reasonable, when it came down to it and the finer details were added it turns out that the longest parcel you can send without it costing the square route of Greece's national debt is 160 cm, the bumper is 168!!!
Drastic measures have been taken


So now it is 84cm long, no prizes for guessing how this was achieved.
I have been told by a 50's split boffin that the bumpers were made like this from the factory though so I dont feel too much like a butcher.

Right,decision made PGSG it is, prior to fixing the front panel we decided to spray the back of the dash and heater tube sand green as it would be far easier and more thorough, so pressure was on to pick the final colour.
Had to make a strengthener for the centre of the screen
Used templates to ensure window appatures were cock on

At last, all major welding done, dropped down on low trolly to get the body flat

Put the badge on just for a photo opportunity

Love the defanition and shape in that front panel!!

Looking real good now bud, surprising what a face and badge makes!

wow things are really coming on nicely now

well done guys ...looks fab



mark

Yahaaa, its arrived, and its not like a Russian bride, its actually better than it looked in the pictures!!!!!
Its in great nick!

Cant wait to see it on, needs sticking together first though, me mates lad may hane not cut it straight down the original weld line,,, but at least we know which way up th weld it !!

Decided to reskin the cago door as there was a nasty crease in it and also to replace the lower inner as that was also damaged.

Oh no the skins arrived, there was damage to the packaging and the two skins were buckled, bugger, trying to save work and it causes more, Im not blaming the company who sent them but the carrier!!! Needed to fit em today so decided to bite the bullet and repair them GrRRRR




While Im moaning about panels the funnels in the bottom inner skin was set too far out, we did find an easy fix by cutting the bottom tag and levering it out then welding it. url=http://s459.photobucket.com/user/PYE-O-C/media/IMG_1811_zpsozwl7tmo.jpg.html]

Had to enlarge the slot

Worked a treat, more work again though!

I emailed Roger at Just Kampers who I had the panels off that were damaged with a link to this thread and fair play he gave me a partial refund and a good one too, well done Roger and just Kampers customer sevice!!

Hi mate - I'm the guy who you spoke to at the weekend - I had the sticker company (Slook) that was by the food area
