Found one - Four years on

[Robbo_NZ]

First photo - we located the previous owner, so this is the oldest photo we have of the van.
Second photo - first looks can be deceiving. The RHS was actually in better condition inside than the LHS. It had a lot more factory underseal and so was in surprisingly good condition.

Happy with progress. Just trial fitting everything now and it is absolutely essential that this is done before painting, because you usually have two or three goes at each part before it will actually fit.

When we're happy with the fitup the body will come off and be stripped down for painting. So still a way to go yet.

Happy to answer (or try to answer) any questions on the rebuild.

I'm speechless. ..
Now that is passion and dedication. ..
That van is going to give you so much joy / to be proud of to drive around ...
Something you don't get from having the folding money to just go and buy one already done ...
"Fantastic"

A lot of progress, you are obviously very dedicated! Well done and good luck getting it finished. A HQ windowless van is a seriously good looking motor vehicle, cant wait for the colour & stripes

cheers
