T4 resto thread

Well, it's gone from a quick sort out to sell, to a resto thread!!
Tired of the graffiti, so that's coming off. I have sanded most of it down (just the shitty little bits to do that I can't da into).

Some holes to address and there is some old filler that has cracks so investigation time.
I have stripped the front end down (wings, bonnet, bumper grill).

The power at the unit is so shit, we can't get the compressor to run, however I saw the landlord yesterday and he's going to get it sorted.


I will pop up pics later.

To this (What have I gone and started!!)

I started by trying anti graffiti paint remover and rats steam cleaner on full blast.  Needless to say after 4-5 hours, it wasn't really working

I then turned to the good old fashioned da

Ah balls, that's not working very well!

SCOOPS!!

Anyway, as I was saying. In my usual Gungey way, I got a bit carried away as things were getting in my way and got to this stage

But nothing too scary

Things continued to get in my way so out came the interior

I have started to go round and sort out some of the dent that resulted in high spots. And rubbed down some more.
I ordered the offside rear arch and near side door step which arrived from the panel shop.  No cheaper from just campers or on tinternet that I could find after delivery.
Still loads to do, but going to try and get this ready for paint ASAP as there is moister in the air and I currently have lots of bear metal on display.

I think I preferred the graffiti...



Nice work though mate!

Gunge, you've cocked this thread right up!
I'll see if I can edit them for you.

good work, the graffiti was a bit shit
what's the final colour going to be?

Grey !!!

I'm too knackered to sort your bloody thread tonight Dude

Ha ha, no worries, I just couldn't work it out, been ages since I posted pics lol

Not sure on colour, I did think using the same as the bug, but might try and do something different
Thinking caps on.

Porsche 601 Graulila is a popular choice.

Hmmm, I really need to start updating this, although not done a huge amount to be fair.
I keep finding bloody holes, I know that much!!
