Gordon's van

We reached another milestone today. After 275 hours spent on the bodywork the van made its move to the paint shop. Exciting times !

Hi Garry

Warren from East Coast Panel and Paint is doing the job for me. I got some crazy quotes from some guys, but Warren gave me a decent quote and he has done some work in the past for me so I know he does a good job. It was already primered so he is just doing the final rub with a scotchy and then putting on the base and clear. I went through tonight to strip everything off the firewall to give him a clear run at it. He is aiming to paint the roof over the weekend if all goes well. Can't wait to see the new colour in the flesh. Pics soon I promise.

Sounds good. Be great to see it when it's done. I might give him a call. Mines off for media blasting shortly then I'll be looking for a good painter.

Cheers,
Garry.

Spent a good few hours today sanding my firewall, engine bay, dash and interior windscreen surround in preparation for paint.

The roof was painted last weekend. Can't wait till the rest of the paint goes on.
