Maria's Van

[strez]

nice work ben !! bet maria can`t wait

[maria]

it's true, i'm very much looking forward to it, to put it mildly. very mildly.  part one will soon be over, i can go on holiday, then return for part two. the painting. i'm thinking a similar colour. maybe a bit lighter. hmm.

ben your a inspiration!

maria you must be one happy girl right now!

one question for ben, i see you have done work on those vertical seams/joins. i was wondering while looking at beddy how you approach them? all other cars i have helped out with have never had butted together seams...

is it just a clean up and lay the paint back in there?

[Bullstik]

some bubbles on the back would look great

Great work Ben - glad to see the van coming along very nicely, I bet your excited Maria!
Have a nice holiday with it!

[Tweaker]

Yeah, I want the seems welded in my van

[able]

welded huh....

i have my cousin coming to have a look at my beddy tomorrow. (the one i mentioned will help me on welding) i will run that idea past him!

i seen maria's beddy for sale before she bought it and was thinking with that dint in the bum the fella will have a hard time selling it (thinking it was un fixable)... look at it now!

[Tweaker]

That was before you met the Benddy Doctor! I mean the Beddy Doctor! He puts the lime in the coconut and shakes it all about

[ben]

haha.. able everything is fixable.. it depends on how much time you want to spend fixing it. a beddy is always worth fixing! there are just not enough left. keep as many as you can on the road..

i have a few vans i was going to scrap at home cause they have huge amounts of rust in them. but ive decided when i get time i will bring them back up to a no rust condition just to keep a few more vans out there.. (not mossy, he is destined for the crusher althou it would be fair challenge hey!)

cheers
