thought to put up a gallery of my van as i'm slowly restoring it

[griezy]

started sanding the rear doors, finding no bad surprises, no bog no rust, just little dents around where the hinges go, as most of these doors get from people trying to push the doors open more then they can go

happy with how good they are

[griezy]

bogged the drivers rear barn door with a slight smear, looks worst then it is, its very thin

[Eskygirl]

Looking good.

I'll be starting the resto on my front struts tomorrow.

It looks like you are making steady progress on this, I seem to have missed seeing updates come up..

[Eskygirl]

Yeah, sorry about...been flat out working and renovating.

I'll get some more shots up as soon as possible.

Cheers

There is nothing wrong with spray cans if done well, a pro in a booth might do better but an amatuer with a spray gun doesn't necessarily end up with a better job every time.

Hi Griezy,

Looking forward to seeing your girl all done too!
