I think that this will be last update for a month really, I don't see the need to show you all pictures of the Van in various stages of sanding down and preparing for paint. Hopefully the next update will be something like paint or engine building!

I've been doing some filler work over the last couple of days and it's a right pain in the cuff!

I seem to either put too much on or take too much off!

Need to find a online tutorial I think.

Looking good though like the spit wish I had done one for mine as I need to now roll the shell over.

I have this to look foreword to and think I will be the same. Also build a spit its not difficult or expensive I have designs if you want might need to change it a tad as it was for my clubby with no front end

Thanks for the offer Hoody but I've only got the half floor to change.

I was I had done one at the start of the project I meant mostly.

Haven't actually done any filler work yet - the various patches are the multiple levels of paint and primer.

1) Metal
2) Red Primer (Factory)
3) Green Paint(Factory)
4) White base coat (Previous owner)
5) Green paint (Previous owner)
