Appetite for Updates!

Long time no speak chaps and chap-esses. It's been brought to my attention that some of you thought i'd left the Commer fold! Not in the slightest. To be honest i wanted to sit back and give others a chance to speak HAHAHAHAHA! Lots of new folk on here that are soooooo much more interesting than my usual drivel being spat:I
Anyway, not much been happening this end. I wanted to be further on with PIA to tell the truth but it was a case of one thing after another in terms of what i needed in order to start work on her. Little things like 'How am i going to bend steel' yada yada...All sorted now though and my batteries are fully recharged after a lovely holiday to Lanzarote (What a beautiful place by the way, any of you been?)

So, without anymore excuses, work will begin on the van very soon, well, when the snow clears up anyway.
Here's a few pics of stuff that i did last weekend;):p

Cill, fabricated and held into place;)

Summer's Coming
 
Looks like you are doing a great job there Scott. I think I have mentioned this site before, but it does include some very helpful restoration advice and techniques:

Ah cheers for the thumbs guys:) i'm really eager to get on with things but as i said, little things kept getting in the way all the time. Small stuff like getting the right connector for a co2 bottle....Small things can really hinder progress...Still, no excuse now eh;)

Stayed in Playa Del Carmen a few years back with the ex before she was even my fiance. Loved the tour of the Volcano park.

If I told you I was a pathological liar, would you believe me?
