A huge milestone this week. The final panel into epoxy! By far the worst panel on the van to do. Onto priming the interior next week.
A slightly better picture of the N/S all epoxied! Feel like I’m getting somewhere now.
The past week I’ve been focusing on the N/S rear quarter.
First off back to bare metal to see what we’ve got. There’s a bit of a dent towards the back of the panel but on the whole it’s not too bad.
I found a few sections around the sliding door seal channel which needed fresh metal letting in, so I made up some repairs in my folder:
Followed by days and days of filler work (must be close to 20hrs to get to this point, even though it doesn’t look like much!):
And finally today I got it all epoxied. I’m really happy with this panel!
I also re painted the bottom of the corner, having reshaped the area where the battery tray welds were visible:
Onto the O/S rear quarter this week, the final panel!
Large side panel shaped and epoxied. I think this is the first panel I’ve primed that I’ve been nearly happy with! I’ve also wet sanded the primer on the engine lid, which is pretty much ready for top coat now. In between jobs I’ve also stripped down the engine to get the tinware off to the powder coaters.
