That's the only mafs you should be worrying about not some telly show.
My misso's life revolves around Home n away , should be called 5h!ts n disaster, from what I glimpse of its a really bad holiday spot to go... And watch on TV

Back on track now, nice colour choice there, not too much but just enough to say it's not white , almost like the washed out Hyundai i30n blue grey..

I flicked Dave's Garage on this morning while finishing off the hot cross buns.
Was virtually a live stream!:

another weekend, another swapmeet.
This time, Castlemaine just up the road. Pretty chilly, but we avoided the roos at 5am on the way up.
In no order: found some van taillights that should clean up ok
 

plus about 5m of 320 grit sandpaper, a Super transit and old Corgi Capri. Purchased 4 led strip lights for inside the back, just as soon as I can find some purple shagpile to match. 

fairly bright when connected, about $24.00 inc the wiring and extension cables

some interesting sites. Towing a 4.1L Cortina wagon Castlemain style 
 
Nice Patina on this old girl:

 and back to the van.
I had a win on the front wing. It just needed some help from a portapower to assist in positioning the inner close panel to the pillar. Once in place, I could finish welding in situ and get a good door gap,
Just proves putting things off pays sometimes. 10 minutes sorted a job I'd avoided.
 
 

Then the roof patch:


the fun bit, open wide:

 

of course theres a swage line down the guts.
Marty can I borrow your english wheel..?

 then time for a clean up and swap sides in the shed
 
 to start all over again
 

 

 oh, I found these at the swap.
off an Escort or something else?
 
 

Did you mean my bead roller??
Not a hard patch to copy, you done alright tho 👍, make sure you spray some sealer in back of the repair or it'll burst out again bigger..
Those badges are from a early mk1 escort van, common as !

yes, the bead roller.
I did spray plenty inside the roof cavity.
So much so, that due to my impatience waiting for it to dry, the patch wsa welder in straight after.
 
I had nice little sparkler effect fireworks each time I tackwelded.
It will go back on the spit shortly for a final tidyup underneath, so I'll be sure to fish oil and seamseal the crannies.
 
I thought those badges were Escort van, the seller thought they come off something like a Bedford.
I just liked the look, and helped pay him a few bucks towards site fee. Lots of people doing it hard.

and voila, one more less rusty spot.



 and the first coat of primer on to seal things up.
