How it looked when I picked it up:
US spec, originally exported to California. I picked up the van and started the project in summer 2010
What is surely a typical find during the stripdown!
After the van was fully stripped down the next stage was to bare metal it:
Two close ups of some of the areas needing work:
Some of the metalwork repairs:
CE IRS conversion:
Once all the metalwork was done, I took the van away to be zinc sprayed. Should now be rust resistant and provides an excellent surface for prep and paint!:
This took up until Summer 2013. Prep for paint begain shortly afterwards:
Just today (7th Jan 2014) van went onto a roller for easy work on the roof and chassis:

Feel free to ask me any questions about the van/build/parts used/final spec etc, hope this is of interest to everyone.
