I NEVER get tired of looking at this Van, and its probably one of my most fave on this site. I just love it and you 've done a great job.

Just to put my old friend cobber's mind at ease, the hinges on the kitchen cupboard doors have not had the screw heads painted over and definitely had slot-head screws used on them

G'day Ray,

This is a worry ....... you've read my mind 

I knew you would have used slot head screws because I know you CARE about your restorations   but I did wonder why you painted the heads of the screws, pleased to hear it's an optical illusion 

Those modern LED things are hard to resist aye? but not everybody feels a need to confess to having used them 

Nice looking little van, congratulations 

Cobber.

I know where there is another one of these sitting in a backyard rotting away.

The owner is somewhat difficult to deal with but at least I tried.

Hopefully he will see the light one day and sell it on, but it will probably be too late by then.

Great little vans.

Leigh.

What a shame, sportsman. I know of a Glen which is going the same way. Just keep trying, you never know.
