.......And she's green!!

The Dash board front has been rubbed back, primed and re-painted, and the main body has also bee flatted back, seam sealed, masked up and is now ready for it's glorious top coat.....

The green is pretty vivid and damn it looks good!!.....so the roof, engine bay and door shuts are done!!

This van had some dent damage to the shaped edges on the lower half that had been pulled out previously in the USA. This part was not savable, so off it came a it got replaced with a nice new piece. Also a rear corner repair was made to the wax point where it had damage....The new battery tray has been fitted too.

Body stripped and in etch primer to prevent any rust occuring whilst the body is being sorted.

All the doors are now bare metalled as are the track covers and the front grille. The main body is now being stripped down....The front has been stripped to reveal the extent of the damage to the nose, fairly minimal, nothing that can't be solved easily.

Day 1 of the project and it's off to a flying start. The van is all stripped out ready to start stripping the paint. Upon removing the interior we were greeted with the best possible sight, fresh green factory paint everywhere. Not a spot of rust anywhere on the inside, look at the cab floors....ever seen anything that clean before? Infact the only rust appears to be in the rear right battery tray and that hasn't even rotted out completely. It will be replaced anyway as it is quite weak.

All our running gear is completely gone through and replaced and as we refit the vans we only use best quality German materials where it is possible to do so.

We guarantee our paint and body work against process defects (this does not include accident damage/bumps and scrapes) for the first 6 months so if something isn't right we'll fix it. We also offer 3 months or 2,000 mile warranty on all running gear other than the engine and gearbox which are covered by their own warranties.

Take a look at our other restorations and bespoke builds in our gallery, to judge our work for yourself.
