Sorry no After! Too exciting to finishing!


I hope that covers it all! Its been a busy time. Did about 50 hours work on this.

The van has now passed the MOT! Inspectors comments was "that someone has done a lot of work under here!"

Only the paint left to do.... Wait for a week of good weather!



Bodywork - Part 6 - Paint & Finish

Just to recap the last 5 posts are all about inspecting, cutting, fitting and welding.

This post of the finial post on the painting and final finishing.

I will do one more post on the results of all this work with before and after photographs.

The paint used was the rust busters Epoxy mastic EM-121.


 
 

 Injected some paint into the sills before closing. 


End of inner and middle sill looks better. 


Inside of wheel tub

Much better view of the battery tray!


After the epoxy went off I put the U pol Grey Stripe seam sealant on all welded areas.

Next update is the Before and After Photos!
