Nice and solid now.

I don't think it matters who does it, to be honest - it's more important that it gets done and another Early is saved from the heap!
Nice work - keep the pics coming 8)

Dont worry it aint staying up there in the sky, its the weeds for me

net jobs on the list are :-

get underneath with the por 15 or equivalent

WAX OIL and plenty of it (iv seen these pattern arches after 3 years without it)

filler and primer ( a small amount of beating)

little bits and bobs of welding

thien i can fit my csp brakes


then it will get slammed

I need to sell some stuff like cars and bikes before i spend anymore (the wife said so)

Well, after a long long time having the van sit around waiting for money,enthusiasm,time blah blah blah the van has now gone off to a body shop (rustykampers.com) to get all the filler work done, it will be coming back in primer so I can get on with fitting the brakes, wheels and dropping it in to the weeds, it will go back for paint when its all sorted and on the road.
I will add photos over the next few days.

time for the gutters to get sorted, the previous owner had been a bit agressive with the grinder so a new peice of gutter was needed to be grafted in

as good as new
