  1. Knocked back and the bare metal areas given a coat of this stuff to offer a bit of protection until I can get back on it.

  2. Removed the engine hatch to treat corrosion and prep for paint.
    It looked ok from a distance but is in a sorry state.

  3. I have a 3 meter respray too, as in it looks ok from 3 meters. When I collected mine the bloke asked me for more money as he'd gone over his budget for materials. I told him to er er, no basically. It's sole destroying. You seem to have had more than your fair share of bad luck. I think you just need to get it on the road and do it as you go.

  5. I'd be happy with a 4 meter one for £200.
     
  6. Mine looks ok on google earth, no closer

    Mine would probably look ok from the ISS, viewed through poundland Binoculars by a partially blind person after 10 pints of Stella. :thumbsup:

  9. My van was never pretty when it was on the road
    It probably won’t be when it goes back on the road

    I just want to get it sealed up so it doesn’t get worse and it look semi respectable

    Then started to prep the rear of the panel

  16. I’m certainly feeling more positive with regards to getting it back on the road
