[gibby]

vans coming along now adie , what colours this one going ?

an where do you get all the motavation from ?

[Adie]

frozen white gibby was thinking bt doing the roof green or black but might juke that idea and get nice decals over it maybe sum ken block rally car / custom coatings integrated graphics lol and the motivation wen doin projects is either ive no car to drive until the projects done or to get out the house and away from the mrs lol most c**ts cant wait to finish work and get home to do socialble poop but am quite happy wen work times up to get rite in about daft projects rebuilds or anyhing really lol

[mikeymikeyp]

[Adie]

07817393215 you can bring it to me mate am not doing any blasting on shells the now for a few months got stacks of work here and this van to get done if your in a rush for it i can give you my mates number he does mobile blasting as long as uv got a yard or something he cant cum to a council scheme and blast in your garden lol bit jailbait

[Adie]

well been slowed down a good bit with work at the moment spent most nites working late to get customers stuff finished off so not had much time on the van but ive still managed to get bits and bobs done van is now ready to prime ive seam sealed the back inside half of the van put the doors and wings on (there only sitting on) got the roof repair done gawney sort out somewhere on the rear panel for a reversing cam it will be fitted snug somehwere bit gay but fuk it haha also gawney fit heated seat pads in my recaros for the winter coming in dug out my heated and electric mirrors aswell







incase i forget

[Adie]

slight set back wen a went to line the wings and bonnet up proper tonite i found a nice wee surprize 1st trying to line up the wings they wer sittin well away from there centre markers i thot might well be cause there chocolite copy wings then tried my bonnet down and couldnt get a decent hight a thot to myself maybe my bonnet aye made into a rs2000 one is took a bit of warping from the welding so tried a standard bonnet and headlights on it and still the same and the bonnet over laping the passanger headlight looks out abt 10mm so now need to roll the van round to the other workshop and either get chains round the leg and give it a tug or ill pt it on the jig and square it up bit of a c**t but hey ho



not bad gap



look how the driver side is lined up at the front also look where the rubber bonnet stop is



then look where it is on the passanger side its moved over to the right



bit clearer here

[Goafer]

Oh dear !!

was that what you exclaimed when you seen this ?

hope it fixes easily enough for you
