A great surprise

 

Took some more pictures today

 

 

 

 

A little dusty on the pictures

 

 

 

I'm considering making a small double line like this on both sides of the car, what do you think?

[Van13]

Might look odd just on the sides only.personaly I like it without but it's your project and well done on a fantastic build

[Cavazzi]

They will of course go from the rear, over the doors and stop just before the the joint on A-pillar.

Personally, I think the crease is enough and it doesn't need the pin-striping.

[minimissions]

Wow! Bet that was nice to come home to! I wouldnt put the strip on think it looks great without.

[Mr Frosty]

I like the stripe it is subtle enough and compliments the crease.

Works well with colour of the car.

Picked up some laminated wood, from a friend, for the load bay and dashboard.

 

 

Its called Santos Palisander, and is a rosewood from Brazil

 

Need to be cut to size sanded and lacquered.

[Mini Manannán]

You were lucky  to get hold of that wood, it's rare now.  It will look the part though.

[SAL 821X]

I'd like to do something similar for my van although my wood working skills are limited so might get someone to do it for me.

[Mr Frosty]

Amazing paint job the wood for the load floor is just the job.

What's the trick with the roof gutter is it pre-painted before the full roof or is a sealer?

I have to do mine soon and any tricks I can pick up before I get there is always helpful !

[Cavazzi]

The roof gutter was first painted with a brush to get in to all the tight spots, and then the roof was painted.

 

 

[Mr Frosty]

Thank you I will do the same!
