you don't waste any time Stoney, inner wings look good. Hope you are happy with it. I'm glad it's gone to a good home

[Guest]

yeah mate when i striped it on sunday only to find that the rad was weeping in the lower corner, got another rad on monday from a radiator company in wiltshire for wait for it for£15.00, also started knocking some dents out of the rear panel's, front wings and front panel prepared in primer getting ready for a dry fit before painting,

[Russ]

I seem to be a jinx with rads. I had no idea the one on your van was leaking ,sorry about that. The one on my white van failed the other week because the air inlet pipe rubbed through the rad, which I swapped for the one off the car

[Guest]

Vans always go at the bottom of the turret for some reason. Cars don't usually suffer this. It must be due to the extra weight or perhaps a different person with the seam sealer gun!

[Guest]

seam sealer..mmmmmm thats the stuff you hide rust with?????
