The end is in sight

Another quick photo update of David & Matt's T3 resto:

 Cutting new strips to rebuild the bottom edge down the long side.

A rear end to be proud of! (note this work has taken several cuppas to get done!)

Factory-fresh looking rear corners - no more seam rot for years to come.

Hopefully off to paint any minute now. Keep them eyes-peeled for the return of a newly painted bus.

Progress...

Just a few more pics of David & Matt's resto:

Time to peeeeeeeel off the howies stickers:

Back down on all four wheels after cosmetic surgery:

Looking forward to getting this off for paint this week, prep, prep, prep...

More metal mastery...

There's only one way to sort the seam-rot on a T3 - get completely rid.

This is how to do it right:

Make like Bruce Lee and chop chop chop...



Front arch now done too:


If you've got rot that needs removing get in touch now.

Bad metal out, good metal in...

The resto goes ever-onward - that infamous T3 water-trap behind the front bumper, sorted.

Them holes that start to bubble up under the window rubbers, sorted.

Cab-steps once again made of metal:

But there's still a way to go yet...


Don't forget, if your van is starting to resemble a teabag, get in touch today! We can work wonders with welding and magic with metal.

More updates soon...

Matt & David's Mini-resto



There comes a time when you've just gotta say 'enough's enough'. That blue tape is fooling no-one, those seams have seen far better days and if I don't do something soon there'll be more holes than metal.

So it's time to welcome back to JC Towers the old faithful T3 belonging to lifelong customers David & Matthew.

The brief? Simple - a shiny van to go to Bustypes in. Can't say fairer than that. Expect some major surgery occurring during the coming weeks.

In she comes!
