sorry for the very bad quality photo, but original nos sills

been busy today, so much so that my hand locked! Kurust and hammerite cures all.

Goosh you have been busy - looks good

thanks, it only took about one and a half hours to take off the body. I had a hand with kurust and painting.

fair play to ya like.

Are you going to remove that ally plate on the bulkhead?

What are you plans for it and is that a new lower windsceen panel?

I probably am going to remove that plate, the one job i didn't do today! My plans are to get it running and stoping, and to get it fairly presentable. I will try and match the paint (any suggestions for a colour match would be great). And the lower windscreen has been replaced before, i shall take some photos of where its has been welded.

jack,
looks as though the van acquired W*lly front arms (and engine) during the LHD to RHD conversion...

ken

yes it has! Car front axle and tie rods and that engine wasn't even bolted in! I plan to get an original dyane/acadiane engine and if I can maybe an aks400 rhd front axle. But it's fine, the tracking is out but it'll probably stay like that until I have more money.

Good show

Nice topper

Jack, the more I think about it the more i'm convinced your van was on eBay last year, or perhaps the year before, in a similar condition to when you picked it up. It was being sold by a 'specialist' in the Dorset? area - They sold, or at least had for sale a fair few A series over a 2 year or so period.

I'm sure their website URL contained a reference to 'Dorset Plasterers' or summat along those lines (I've had a quick look & have drawn a blank ) I do know that they used to advertise on 2CVTV. Pretty vague, but if you can track them down perhaps they can help fill in the gaps in its history...
