Progress on my Van has been halted for the last few months as the garage was taken over by the Mk2 being rebuilt. It's finished now though:

I can get back on with the Van now though, still cleaning up bits which is nice and boring. Welding should start next month!

Oops that woke me up. I bought PAE500F in '68 in Bristol. But cooperandy's got it now. It's on tmf somewhere.
Nice work with the white one.

Yes, few things to tidy up before though as Riv Run was a big rush to get her back together.

Yes - there has been work ongoing!

The pictures are on the Flickr album at the moment: http://www.flickr.co...ustin_mini_van/

Recently the rusty rear has been receiving more treatment and the first welding has taken place!

Decorating the house is taking up time at the moment, but the Van is going well so far.
