Most of you that attended Commerfest will remember Mildred the Paralanian. A very rare and unique vehicle.
Unfortunately due to a leaking roof, she has suffered some serious water damage.
Dennis initially brought her in for a new roof and the cab sorting, but it wasn't long before the ugly truth became apparent [V]
We have already replaced some of the A post timbers, the worst bit being over the cab, where the whole frame was rotten and needs re-forming.

Dear Lord !! [:0][:0][:0]

Just goes to show that a lovely vehicle can still hide some horrible truths underneath.. What a blow !

The good thing is that this very special camper is in very good hands, Martin ;)

Over the coming years there will be a number of high quality restorations on the roads.Thanks to Martin, these wonderful examples live a long life.

Excellent work in progress as always :)
 
A bit more progress on Mildred, had to take the roof/ceiling off completely, as all the ply was rotten [V]

Complete new roof now made, just need to lift it off to put a new headlining in, then a new skin on the top and off for a new fibreglass roof :)

No, just cut them out of bigger bits ;)
