Van in a barn.
Van on a trailer.

The van was in a barn in a partly dismantled state with bits everywhere.
----------------------------------------------------------

A hired trailer was used to transport the van and bits 200 miles home.
-----------------------------------------------------------

Rust.
New Panels.

The van was in a poor state but it would repair. These vans are very rare so Robin could not choose a better example.
-----------------------------------------------------------

Many new panels were purchased to carry out the repairs. Care is required to maintain the alignment of the vehicle.
----------------------------------------------------------

Panels Going In.

The new panels were welded in using spot, MIG and gas. Temporary crossmembers ensure alignment.

The inner wing cut out. The front panel helps with alignment.

The inner wing that was left was prepared to except the new panel. The bit that is left helps alignment.
