Don't throw cats in bins. It's naughty.
 
Being a bit scared makes you careful, better that than being over confident and rushing in without thinking.

Summer's Coming
 
I was going to suggest turning up a stainless tube to weld in, but it looks like you have it covered :I

Hello comm-pete,

Good courage for your renovation:D. I do not still have to begin mine:I, I am occupied with building the garage to be able to work on it. I does not understand that you did not receive the price of the most rotten vehicule in the commerfest[?][?]. It is true that you had hidden well "PIA" inke bottom of the camping:D:D. Think all the same of drinking a small beer from time to time[:eek:)]. The Belgian team thinks of you...

Thankyou Christian, i need and appreciate all the encouragement i get;) i'm doing things nice and slowly so i don't have to do it all again in the future. Some of it is taking longer than expected but that's mostly to do with it being too cold to want to go out and work on the van. Anyway, i found a couple of hours today and started putting some metal back finally:p here's a few pics.

Here is the new Stainless cill welded in and clamped up ready for the other ends work. I can't start on the other end until i go and see Tim and grab me some donor door posts;) At the top of the cill you can see the new piece of flooring too which is all welded up. I just need to grind it down to make it look tidier:D

Here's what the other side looks like. I'm fairly pleased with the results thus far.

The white stuff on the cill is tape protective tape by the way, it was a bugger to get off HAHAHAHA!!!

Hi all, hope ya been playing nicely:D bit more progress on the van today as the weather is more settled now. I'm now officially pushed for time now, we're moving house in around a month and need to get the van sorted as i don't want to pay to get it transported to our new place. I will try and get it done in time but it's a big ask:eek: Anyway, a few piccies from today's joy;)

The brand new Fibreglass step panel in situ. Had to cut it about a bit as i wanted to keep the step:) It's soooo nice to see a new panel on her:p The other side will be done tomorrow!

And here is some more fresh metal going in. The donor piece of flooring is from Tim and Chris's #3;) It's now been coated in Aquasteel so should last another 40 years hopefully.
