Here`s my Emily as I got her in july

and I crnt forget my long term friend Lucy

I cleaned and polished, cleaned and polished, and clean and polished, for about 3 weeks,
anyway, after sitting in her day after day, with a beer of course, armed with note pad and magazines got to put some lights in and nicked my sons body board I:

also came the stickers, much to the wife`s disapproval ( not another sticker )

then decided to tart her up a bit with some vinyl rap

well that didnt stay on long, on the out side as it came off as she was going into the shop for a well earned make over with my help, loved giving her a well earned massarge :ILU:
Day 1

well tomorrow will be day 3, the roof`s been painted, but waiting on parts, 4 wheel arches before we can progress

paulfish69 · Nov 12, 2012

this is where we are at at the moment, and we are at a stand still as waiting for new wheel arches which should of been here 3 days ago.

In the mean time bought this for the wife as a run about she`s loving it

I also got all this for her, carnt wait to get started

paulfish69 · Nov 25, 2012

crnt explain will show when done, but she is looking NICE, loving the badge on the back A:
here are some photo`s

and some of the panels that I started while she is getting a make over

A:A:A:

paulfish69 · Nov 28, 2012

well she got her new eyes on yesterday

then got all the bits and bobs on her rear

paulfish69 · Dec 2, 2012

now we have the finished job, outside that is, just got to start on the inside now T:

got all the insulation for the inside done most of the panels just got to get the rest out and start on them, get the leisure battery sorted, really want a night heater, but so expensive, R&R Bed too, ooohhh, hang on forgot, everything is expensive

paulfish69 · Dec 28, 2012

just a little update, had the side bars made with 3 lights in the front and 2 in the rear, these will be indicators and well pleased with them, they have been blasted then powder coated to match the bus, looks pretty cool T:

Iv now started on the inside, a friend wired some more LED`s in, but still needing some more as not bright enough to do any work in her, Iv also done the panels and insulated her before putting them back on, also lined the ceiling, there is quite a difference in noise reduction which is good. A:A:

Looking good fella T:

Is that Harvest Moon beige on the roof and front?

paulfish69 · Dec 29, 2012

No its something like Eifenbach or Elfenbach not sure of the exact spelling but if you want I can find out fella T:

parkyPig · Dec 28, 2012

Good work mate, could I ask how you fixed that ere' roof light up there?...T:

paulfish69 · Dec 29, 2012

The board is screwed to the ceiling and the LED`S are hot glued to the top of the board T:

ipod bob · Dec 28, 2012

I like that paint job. I asked a while ago if anyone had or had seen dark vans with white or light roofs, as opposed to white vans with black roofs. I think it looks really good and i like the way you have gone across onto the top of the wings. It looks ace T:

paulfish69 · Dec 29, 2012

Cheers fella, I`d seen many vans with the roof and bonnet a different color which is what I wanted but didnt want the same as everyone else, thats when I came up with the idea of taken it from the top of the wing down to the bumper, I think I can say at the moment she`s the only one like it, I: so far anyway, but I might be wrong I:
Thank you all for your comments A:A:

paulfish69 · Feb 25, 2013

well sinc the last update which was a while ago, not much been happening, what with Christmas and work, but have managed to to do the door cards, which I think I might, will redo, as not to happy with them,

sold my rear seats, that was going to new bits, BUT the wife got hold of it, now i have to do the bathroom before I can get to my Van, sys the wife

paulfish69 · Feb 25, 2013

well its not good news, engine ran out of oil, :* now engine buggered so thats going to have to take priority now, and this aint going to be cheap or quick, so if anyone knows where to go or look for a 2.4D Lump or mine refurb would be a help.
In the mean time Im going to start stripping her down, aint got a clue where to start or what to do, only one way to find out,

carnt do no more damage I: see if I can find the problem
