Chapter 15 - 8 Days a week

My apologies to those of you sat on your seat awaiting my updates, however i have been burning the candle at both ends, and the bills for panels and parts roll in, payment for these goods is needed, so I've been working longer hours and weekend's gathering the finances to complete the project, but secretly working away in quiet suburban district of Liverpool, is my very own super hero.....

Some say his second cousin twice removed works for the BBC, and is refereed to as the Stig, but all i know is he's called Wally the welder, and he's stuck under my van :P

So while Wally's been busy cutting out the rot and patching things up, I've just acquired a new company vehicle, a T5 no less, so to say i'm pleased would be a understatement!

Right back the project,



Few problem areas are:



I'll grind the welds down later,


Needless to say the rear valance is a bit more re-enforced ;)

As with the other side with cut out the rear box section, and are fabricating our own


Although the rear chassis leg looks a bit rusty, it's really not, and I'll clean it up with a wire brush when the time comes for treatment, and paint etc

Were making great progress on this side, with only the rear arch panel, sill, front arch and step area's left to complete for the MOT - Its my birthday soon, and i'm hoping some nice van related presents land in my lap ;)
