VanZelst Restorations

Massive weekend on Breck
Huge amount of repairs in areas that you don't even see, but its all important structural work.
But we have 2 rear guards and front nose tacked in. One front door done , rear tailgate patched and other front door skin ready to be fitted now that the frame has been strengthened.
Getting Laurie in to help has given this long term project a big boost.
We will end up with virtually every exterior panel replaced, fresh smooth metal rather than Bali paper mache.

Bodywork on Matilda progressing well.
The massive amount of rust repairs on the roof is now unrecognisable and we've temporarily sat the pop top back on.
A tiny bit of welding left on the front nose and the whole shebang will be ready for paint!

Some serious stepnose surgery underway. I'm pretty sure the expanda foam wasn't factory standard. Just about every panel has been patched in a previous life.

Me :Bless me father for I have sinned.
It's been 35 years since my last glass sunroof install into a perfectly good roof.
Priest: son, there's not enough hail Mary's to cover that atrocity. You're going to hell.
Me: so ill be with all the cool people then?
