Next up the N/S middle sill! The middle sill on the N/S has the top and bottom track for the sliding door roller attached to it (the top track is part of the flange that attaches the sill to the door threshold). i wanted to avoid removing the whole sill as it’s better to repair […]

Next job; repair the sliding door track and middle sill. No room for error otherwise the door won’t open or will just fall off!
Up at 6 today and down the workshop by 7 to finish the floor up. Finally all welded in and dressed the sill welds. Happy with it all apart from the minor bit of distortion on the O/S panel towards the middle (will know for next time 🙂 ). Sexy underside!
Competed most of the plug welds on the N/S floor pan today. Filthy but very happy.
jamesley: It’s not fully welded in yet but I couldn’t resist taking a snap of the van with a full floor for the first time in 7 months! #iriscamper #classiccars #restoration #vwt2 #vwbus #vwcamper
A slow Sunday’s work following a great few days away camping in swanage with the family and my oldest friend and his missus. Today I finished repairing the last hole in the threshold piece, and gave it a coat of etchweld, ready for the floor to go in this week (at long last!!!). And made […]
This weekend I have been mostly prepping and painting panels. First up the repair to the front of the rear wheel tub. The wheel tub isn’t in too bad condition, and I even found some fresh paint. Repair cut to size and trial fitted. Nice not to have to replace the whole thing for once. […]
Trial fit of the N/S floor half. Things are getting exciting!
Welds dressed on the O/S panel tonight. It’ll need a light application of filler to get it perfect, but for my first large panel I’m pretty happy.
