Cellulose for the majority, bit of 2pac on the underside as it will be more resistant.
I haven't touched the Van for the past 4 days as I have been getting stuck into my other passion - cycling.

The second picture on the article slideshow is of me shortly after completing the 212 mile journey from St. Austell to Bristol!
Fortunately, my Mum has been getting stuck in with some cleaning and a local garage has fitted the tyres onto my wheels - pretty crucial part ;)

As the weather is turning nasty and Bristol isn't a possibility, we have time on our side to get the Van properly prepared and painted. It currently has the base layer on in the majority of places, just tidying up every little bit really.
A few comparison shots:

In the words of TOWIE "well jel!"
You sir have fouled my thread!
Update: Aiming for Gaydon, body is being rubbed down. Not far off, no pics as nothing interesting happening!
