« on: December 17, 2008, 07:10:25 PM »
thought i would start a thread so i can post pic's as i bring my beddy back to its glory.

i will take photo's at every stage and would appreciate comments and advice as i go.

today i started stripping... the doors and bonnet, the badges, flooring, headlining and hinges.

will start sanding back tomorrow.

Digital cameras and photos of how it all fits together works for me I can never be bothered marking things and get most things back together sice Ive started taking photos.

yep im writing on everything!

and taking pics before i remove anything.

im also using masking tape to tape all bolts into their holes to save on head scratching later.

p.s mezzmo, all the good advice comes from the senior members.
i have not been involved in car repair or painting since i was in my late teens/early twenties...
they are on the ball and you can get several opinions on a question... some times within a hour and sometimes over night. im 50% more confident then before i found this forum.

good luck and please start your own thread with pics when you begin.

Pull all the bolts nuts and washers off the parts you replace.

That looks like one tidy van - I'm jealous

To add to Brett's idea, if the bit doesn't have a nut and bolt then use masking tape and tape the nut/bolt onto the part

There are so many people out there who will tell you that you can't. What you've got to do is turn around and say "watch me"

westy in internet explorer go to tools then internet options, then advanced, scrole down to multi media and tick show pictures, If its not that then it might be your anti virus program stopping it
