  1. Yes when the weathers at it’s worst and money is the tightest
     
  2. Weather is definately on the turn now. Had a few mornings of frost so far and now a lot of rain. :(

  3. All part of the pitfalls of working outside☹️

    If I had an indoor space where I had a chance of slightly controlling the moisture and air temp I’d get a lot more done.

  8. Cheers fella it’s nice to know I’m not the only one to like the texture
    The interior paintwork is smoother because I’m using rattle cans with the texture being on the exterior panels from using a roller.

    It’s all very nice etc. But it doesn’t actually stop you from using the van.

    What’s now actually stopping you using the van. Don’t you now have an engine that needs building back up?

    Just get on and use the damn thing.

  18. It certainly works with the contrast of the satin black parts better than the old green

    Looking good. That clean on clean contrasting paint must be a real boost!

  20. I’ve got over the heartbreak of the Marmite job that I got back.
    Now I’m doing it myself the best I can in the circumstances
    I’ve actually got my love for the van back and I’m enjoying working on it and seeing each bit progress.
    It will never be perfect but as long as it’s better than before then I’m happy and it should last longer
