I want a van now!!

I had one in my twenties it had a wet towel across the back doors to stop the exhaust and fuel vapours from the leaking tank killing me.

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 :-/

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
