Hi all, thought I'd add a few pics of Betsy my 1973 Commer autosleeper project.

Thanks for the pics You really do have a lot of work to do but it's great that you cab see beyond the rust to what Betsy could be. Good luck with the project and keep us up to date with all the gory details

Yeah she's pretty bad and will obviously get worse the more I get into it but I'm under her now with a wire brush listening to " 2-4-6-8 ! Never to late ! "

I'm sure there's a line with 'motivate' in there somewhere too - or is that motorway

There's always more work than you think, but take it one step at a time. You'll get there.

Good advice. Assess everything you can but don't dive in and strip everything, take one section at a time in a series of mini projects.
Says the man who does the opposite - I really should take my own advice

Slow & steady wins the race ; ) I'm going to weld in a repair patch on the roof and around the side windows then focus on the chassis everything else is cosmetic and I'll hopefully buy replacement panels for the front Valence and both rear corners as I couldn't replicate that with my knowledge and tools but I'm not in any rush, glances at Betsy, luckily
