Bass' Automatic Camper

oh i forgot to mention for those people with the beedy eyes the rear corner is tacked in place but not welded to the lower part of the middle light cluster panel yet as this has got to have the lower inch or so chopped off the bottom of it and a new peice let in, so we can aliminate the rust from this area totally.it was only left on so i had a datum line to work towhilst fixing on the new panels.and the same goes for the rear number plate panel,its not welded properly here either as this panel is coming off this week also. more pics later on in the week to follow.;):p
 
Photobucket's my weapon of choice - flickr works well too and has some great pics tucked in under commer tags ;):)

Hello on facebook - will you be my fwend[?][:X][:X][:X]

hi guys thanks for all the support with the kind words . things are going great at the moment, i think paul the owner is pleased so far with the results we are achiveing,either that or he has a good poker face. i will rty to upload more pictures tomorrow of all the other outter panels fitted on down the passengers side, as we managed to get all the floor area and inner cills fitted on today down that side of the van, so hopefully not to many obsticles tomorrow with the outter panels to overcome. the good news is that since i started work on this van for paul, i had another forum member bring there van to me for some repairs the other day which ment two customers in my first month, i thiught this was great going ,but tonight i got home to view my emails only to find that i have just recieved another order from someone else to have their van restored, after i gave them a quote about a month ago, so things are starting to look great( i cant belive how much responce ive had. i also got approched by practicle van and pick magazine up about pauls van and they want to do a full on feature wright up about it. but i forgot to mention it to paul today (sorry mate).;):p:D
 
Things are picking up a treat - credit crunch what credit crunch:D
Brilliant work woolfy I guess all the doubts of the past have melted away now[^].

i hope so mate, its been a bit of a slog getting here but hopefully things will be looking up a bit from now on. watch this space.;):p
 
wonderful progress - will have to change your forum tag to 'Woolfy - saving commers several commers at a time':D

talking of saving commers - in your superbly hectic schedule would you be able to get some post on the way for me? [:X][:X][:X]

keep up the good works :)

you'll have a solid van there Paul - great to have confidence and a known quantity of metal beneath you!
 
Whoo hoo Patience will be famous [8D]

Hopefully now people can see the quality of the work that Woolfy's doing it'll help the business..........if he can resurect Patience anything's posible !

There's definately a credit cruch, just ask Woolfy how much I bang on about the budget....he's probably fed up with my penny pinching as he's an artist at work :) But I know I wanted a solid van as that'll save money later on and help hold her value so really it's invest to save.

Now can't wait to have her finished and get out and use her.......hopefully Cambridge Folk Festival will be her first outing.
