  • Top effort fruitbat.... I to have had to tackle rusty bolts this week.

    I feel your pain. But it's also very satisfying when it's done.

      • Nice one. On the Subaru's the bush would seize to the bolt and the rubber would let go so you had a bolt that would spin and not come out, a real pain. You've done well to save the bolt Kev.

                      I finally got a bit of free time to finish installing the gas bottle for the hob .












                      The reason I went for the small Coleman bottle is because I’ll only be using the hob for making a cuppa , the second reason is the camping gaz bottles are so expensive .

                      Everything was going well until I went digging [emoji20]









                      I’ll try and sort this out during the week , weather / free time depending .

                          Thankyou .

                          I’m going to cut out the rot and weld in a new section , pointless patching it , I do have a plan of attack and I’ll take plenty of pics and post them on here

                            This evening , I’ve cut the rot out .







                            You can buy sill repair sections from a motor factors but I had a spare half hour in work and had made a rough sketch of the repair section I’d need .

                            A bit of old school panel beating as I don’t have a box pan folder .











                            Hopefully, I’ll have the repair finished by the end of the week , if not that’s what I’ll be doing on the weekend .

                            • That's it. The old chap has a Sykes folder long enough to make sill section's but if I cant be arsed to pop up I do a similar thing with the top edge of my landlords old tractor trailer.

                              • I’ve been putting in the hours this week on the van .

                                Repair section welded in , not my best welding it was a bit windy and I couldn’t get the grinder in the channel to tidy up the welds , it will be hidden when the rubber is in place , but that’s not the point











                                I decided to stone chip the area as my thinking was it would offer better protection.

                                Kind of wish I just used a good filler primer as I didn’t quite get the finish I’d hoped for .










                                Tonight I put some colour on it .















                                Hopefully by tommorow evening the paint will have gone hard enough to put the rubber back on .

                                Then the inside of the van will need a good clean !
