    Well well well, as i said, i fancied starting my own build thread, So here it is..

    Offically joined the t4 family a couple of months ago now

    Meet winston





    He's a 1.9 hill struggling, chug along, just the way i like it

    Was actually in pretty good condition when i picked it up.... Untill you look closer, bit of the usual rust, dents, dodgy repairs, but what do expect, a 15 year old van after all,

    So basically decided to give it the attention it needs, a full respray, keep on top of the rust and sort all the dodgy repairs....

    Like this one, found this hole which was filled over and silliconed from behind



    And this one... Some one had filled over a huge dent and smoothed over the channel, and the filler had cracked all the way down through, which was inevitable, had to dig out a heap of filler and start over



    I just dont understand how some repairers, finish a job, stand back and think, "yes, job well done" theres some real cowboys around...

    Any way, i took the windscreen out, bare metalled underneath as the rust was building up nicely, then painted the roof black and popped a new windscreen back in,

    Fully repaired and primed one side and said good bye to the rusty arches.







    Give me a couple of weeks and ill have the repaint done, then i can enjoy the summer, throw a matress and barby in the back, job done, untill the winter months when i plan on sorting the interior.

            Looks like you have the skills and the kit to make this an amazing paint job - cant wait to see you get some paint on it, just don't spoil it with some awful attention whore colour, keep it classy.

                        Painted, polished, job done. Couldn't be happier with how it turned out, just need to pick off a view bits if overspray!

                        Fitted the clear indicators too [emoji106]🏻

                        Next step is lowering, waaay too high at the moment, need some advice off you guys, not sure how much to lower by? I dont want it too low, i would like it to be practical still! And looking good, what you reckon? 40mm???

                        If you see me give me a wave, im the one driving in the middle of the road, desperately trying to stay out the hedge to keep my paintwork fresh!

                          Not sure why the picture quality isn't great.
