i saw a peacock the other day. that is a really sweet colour. being dark I don't think it will age and go out of flavour like morpheus, atomic, impulse, ignition etc

Ok, another update, this one with some substance. After nearly 2 years in the panel shop (cheap storage), paint is officially going on the van. Ok, its only the under body stone guard coat, but its actually happening! 2Pak is going over the stone guard later today and that will be the underneath done.
Couple of pics below-
Seam sealer applied and masked up
Under body stone guard on
Looking good!
It'll all start to happen fast now.....
Vans.... This is the 2nd time round the block, 40 years later! talk about turning back the clock!
Ok, i think we have something newsworthy. I finally got organised and visited DNA paint with the painter and selected a couple of base coats/top coats to tinker with. We selected Tropical Green Candy Basecoat and Emerald Green Candy Premix. With his stock of other paints and bits, we should have some final samples for selection soon.
Whoa talk about in ya face thats a lot of colour on a van
Looking great. Love the green too. Funny you said cheap storage I think along those lines too whilst doing up vans.

Well, its been slow going at Club Damo, as the Melbourne winter was fairly horrific this year. Good news is, I've just come out of hibernating and after pulling my head out of my arse the other week, thought I'd better get this chassis sorted. First jobs first, I need to sort out my engine bolt on bits that started last summer. After some soul searching, i had to agree with Vombil's earlier suggestion of using VN - VT bits to tuck everything away. So after scouring wreckers for days, i struck a gold mine at Ozwreck and have raided their old hidden parts shelf for VN - VT brackets and pulley assemblies. Got things sorted over the weekend and very happy with the result. The A/C tucks under really well and it just looks way better to my eye. Just need to finalise the alternator setup and then its off to powder coating with everything....I'm sick of looking at rusty bits!! Also, for those that are observant, yes the power steering box doesn't fit any more so i have to convert to rack and pinion steering to run this setup. Ah well, off to Castlemaine Rod Shop i guess........

Damien, saw your pictures last night, but couldn't see where the problem is re the power steering pump, where is it fouling? BTW that sure is a good method to tuck the aircon away
