I loved that old van.

Great work look forward to it getting to paint!

Did you use a genuine inner a-panel? I only ask as the magnum ones have bulges at the hinges stiffeners the correspond with dimples on the inner wing repair panel. I have been trying to find inner a-panels that fit original inner wings :-/

[mini danny]

Yes I used genuine panels. Fitted perfectly worth paying the extra to get them.

Today I got the inner a panel,outer a panel, door post and door step all welded in today.














Also got the parcel shelf/bottom dash railed assembled today ready for fitting tomorrow.










More updates tomorrow

Thanks Dan

Thanks bud and hoping to have all the welding done in next 2-3 weeks.


Got the load bed sill/step repaired today and then welded on.

Had to repair these to ends





After been cut out and repair welded in.





Then cleaned as much as the paint off as I could to allow a good weld. Van will be shot blasted so will be fully cleaned off then



Then fully welded in after I welded a nut in that sits under the sill/stepfor the earth strap





Also fully welded the front lower parcel shelf/bottom dash rail




Then decided to clean all the rubbish out the van.

Once all cleaned relised how far she's come and how much she finally looks like a van



















More updates soon
