    Nice work! Looks like the main purpose of that internal guttering was to maximise rot and test your endurance 😬

    I like your shrinker / stretcher, Ben. Very clever.

    Very nice, thorough work, most people would bodge it. Nice to see proper repairs

      @@garypoulton7311 Appreciate that. 👍 I could make a lot of videos with this van, it's had quick repairs everywhere you look. The people that come into the workshop say oh that's a nice van and I say, No it's not. 😀

      Thank you. 👍 pleased with the shrinker, not a tool I will use a lot but very useful when shrinking is needed on the vehicle.

    Nice work Ben, difficult to rust proof job's like these when they are above your head !

      @bensclassicbodywork  Місяць тому +1

      Yes it isn't simple to rust proof up there. Paint where you can and where you can't I did see a video by my mechanics insights where he injected paint via a hose. You can perhaps wax up there but you don't want the heat of the sun causing the wax to melt and drip on the interior. Also you can't wax where interior is to be bonded via contact adhesive. Tricky but it rusted so badly because the roof started to leak, it would normally only be exposed to condensation. Might try the Paint injection, will have a think.
