Chassis almost completely stripped and reprimed / painted. New wheel arches put in. Pulled back some of the inside panels as there was some orrible rust behind em. Fuel tank still pretty scabby.

Looking at getting it through the MOT next week. Any advice from anyone on common things which pop up on these vans would be greatly appreciated

Looks good enough, make sure brakes are up to scratch and kingpins for lift and play (grease 'em up good)

Don't worry, replacing a section of the pipes tomorrow (garage round the corner fabricating a new length which was particularly bad) and going to give the pads a good clean also

Thanks Fred - really looking forward to getting some paint on there (we're going to go with Fordson Tractor Blue) and getting started on the inside! Fixed half the MOT fails today turns out the brake lights weren't working because the bulbs weren't properly connected! Was going to do a full check prior to going to garage but typically it started pissing it down just before I left.

Passed the MOT second time!!! Cost £30 for the MOT, £30 for the labour but they let me off because it was my bday! Ended up spending more on temp insurance that the actual cost at the test centre !!

I'm using postimage to get a link for the image but when I press the 'insert image' button and paste the url, nothing happens?

Cheers Fred - I did have a look at the new rules but I think I'd probably had a few beers at that point. All good now.
