Split Screen Restoration

 Its starting to look serious in here!!
 So lower cut and inner sliced in, acid and solvent cleaned, then inner primered.
 Offered up a couple of spot welds and hey presto.....It does not fit!!!!! copied exactly the original profile and the door bent because of damage. So remove the few spots adjust and weld up.



 These doors cost a fortune for a set, so despite the need for further work it is worth paying to get your old stuff repaired.
 Just a repair to the rear bulkhead on this side only.
 Solid, remember the gaping holes and the view of the ground???

 Wheel arch closure details, and seam welding the cab floor.
 I think the seats upside down but i really enjoyed a beer in there the other night.
Wheeel arch closure detail....need more welding yet....Also seat belts????? are we welding mounts in,,,,,just order a set of stock plates.
Cab doors just need lower inner plate repairs........3 cut holes in rear floor to do, a couple in engine bay, one in inner rear wheel arch, 2 outer rear wheel arch patches....................and a day of final crawling around adding extra weld here and there and were done. Danny is coming over soon to quote on sandblasting, hot zincing and painting inside, underside and top side!!!!!!!! You could have a Split Screen Panel Van by Xmas????
