Factory paint









After getting the panel van indoors, I have spent some hours to get to know the object better. The over all feeling is that the condition is what I expected. The frame is gone under the cabin, and som heavy surgery is needed to make it drivable. But to get the van redy for welding, there is a time consuming process to take everything apart. I started on the interior, taking out panels and stuff. The good thing about this kind of work, is that it gives some positive surprises. I have a feeling the OG paint on the whole cabin, and all the panels can be brought back to life.

As you can see in one of the pictures, the van was originally painted in grey, with a blue stripe along the side. The inside of the doors and cabin area also reveal the factory paint. The fuse box on each side still contains the paper inserts =)

Still a lot of things to take apart, and some of it are fragile stuff. More pictures to come as the work continues.
