You can see that there is still some rubbing and polishing to do, but early indications are good! We really are on the home stretch now. We are meant to be going to a festival the weekend after next, and it's touch and go as to whether or not he will be ready in time, but fingers crossed!
 
Wow, how shiny is that.. Your doing an impression of Admin... we can't stand the suspense :)

Cazz...Is smiling again, as Smurf is on the mend!!!!
 
It's rustoleum aerosol! To be fair I took a pic of the best bit, but overall the results are pretty good. I will do a full write up once it's finished.
 
Can;t wait to see the rest, that rustoleum does sound and look like great stuff :D, can't wait to give it a try on Bluebell :D

Cazz...Is smiling again, as Smurf is on the mend!!!!
 
I recognise this van, I met it at the dorset steam fair about 3-4 years ago are you still the same owners ? hope to take mine down again at the end of the week If i can nurse it there or find a spare diff. I'll be on the morris stand with me pick up if ya going:)
 
am stunned at the work in the rear corner [:0] amazing bit of curving that, and so useful for draining pasta too;)

Colour is almost exactly like colour of my first van, only much, much more shiny [8D]

Hi Ben, no that wasn't us, that was the previous owners, who we know. I was at the Steam fair last year, but this year I will be preparing for the MOT.

Rear lights went on this evening, and the windscreen went in - Thanks Martin for the new rubber! We have decided to concentrate on getting through the MOT, and then worry about sorting out the paintwork + the weather is so bad at the moment we can only do inside jobs and the paintwork needs to be done outside for the light. Tomorrow will see the rear doors on, front lights in and the electrics tested.
 
See yet another sneaky peek with your signature pic... When do we get a proper look The Suspense :D

Cazz...Just wants Smurf to pass her MOT now!!!!!
 
Well, here you are!

Modifications are: seams have been filled, fluting has been filled, bumpers removed, grille removed, cab air intake blanked off. Still have the inside to do over the winter, but by next year he should be all done!
