Hi Gatt - welcome to the Madhouse:D I hope you can cope.
It's not unusual for the bottom panels to loose their flutes with flat panel repairs, it's only recently that replacements have become easily available through our own Woolfy. Hopefully whoever has done it hs welded them in place and not stuck them on with filler. What's the story behind the van, it's an unusual one with the Viking (I think) roof. We like lots of stories and pics:)

Hi gatt and welcome to the madhouse:D you realise of course that you are now officially mad and there is no escape![}:)]

interesting van, not sure i recognize the roof? I'm sure someone will point it out soon enough!

You have sure come to the right place for some excellent advice, excellent resources of parts and of course making some excellent new friends:D:D

Thanks for the welcome .The bloke has had it for about a year he drove it back from scotland but has not got the time to enjoy it anymore ,it had 6 owners and 63,000 miles and runs really nice , everythink works ok .
The bottom panels look and seen ok (not all filler) i hope ??the roof just pops up straight with 2 windows one either side not sure what model it is ?
Just needs a good clean and tlc i think ,ive got a nice size garage to keep it dry...

potentially a rare lovely van does look as though it has been a little neglected of late with an attempt at some work
make sure you try to keep it original good investment imo ;)
WELL DONE [^]
