Babs New Home

[v-dub convert]

Took the interior out, bit damp in places and discovered a few holes here and there, fortunately confined to two small patches behind the rear arches. Bit if a task but I think it's worth it for the peace of mind knowing it's all sorted.

Also there was a few holes cut in for the plumbing from the original fitting, this was the cause of the worst bit of damp as there were no grommits fitted and the chipboard flooring has just soaked the water up over the years. Now all welded in and the old girl's watertight!

To be honest I'm over the moon that this is the worst bit of the floor.

That's excellent, some find no end of horrors[xx(]

Summer's nearly done

Can't wait to see Babs all sorted and back on the road.

I always knew she was a good 'un.

that's the classic spot; not seen an "unwelded van" without that going

Right then, been a while since I last updated, managed to get a few things sorted, and just a few more things to sort...
Front lower panel on and sorted

However found some great stuff hidden in the depths of the crusty old front valance...

Two old coins, dated 1918! one of the missing quarter light window catches, a couple of hazelnuts and a ht cap.

Also found a fair old bit of pudding and chicken wire!!! Amazing really, it probably took longer to stuff it full of this gear and make a presentable job than do it properly in the first place.

Anyhow, got a few more pictures, some I'm not quite prepared to divulge yet, however here's a little bit of fresh paint and zero rust...

Indeed, very happy with progress, the paint isn't too bad, quite pleased with that. As far as interior pictures go I'll be posting some soon, but have a few more things to fit so when they're in and it's finished inside I'll put them up.

 

[v-dub convert]

Right then. Been a busy boy the last few weeks, got some things I've wanted done, other things have had to wait. Interior is finished.

bit of a clue as to what Babs is doing now... She's a working girl.

[/IMG]

I've taken a bit of a career change, Babs is now my mobile espresso bar! Got a pitch outside my local train station, just finished the first week and she's gone down well. (the coffee isn't bad either...) Bit of a leap of faith but I'm loving it.
The only shame is due to the tight deadline to get going I've had to divert my attentions to the workings and still need to sort the rear corners and door bottoms, just had a tidy up for now so I could get trading but I'll be finishing these off over the next few weekends as time allows. Also need a few little odds and sods which I'll have to source soon.

TTFN. John.

Cracking! I work at nottingham university, and use my commer as a mobile coctail bar for functions and harbors that I run!
