I have been giving a lot of thought to what Pete and Marion suggested, so I have decided to start posting the rebuild of my old industrial van. It's going to take a bit of time and I will probably make a few mistakes during the process so I am happy with a bit of creative criticism, ideas and/or suggestions.
Bare in mind I will be building this van for when I am touring but it will have to be strong for when I take it into the bush as I am an avid prospector as well. The first lot of pictures are of the interior when I purchased the van, I am now slowly gutting the interior at the moment to see how bad the water damage has affected the steel frame work. If it is really bad I will more than likely do as much as I can at my residence then rent a unit so I can remove the exterior cladding, then unbolt the roof and wall frames and have them and the chassis sand blasted and coated then put it back together.
May I suggest because you have already introduced yourself in this section earlier you put this post in 'Show us your rig' section as once you introduce yourself you then start posting in the appropriate sections of this great forum.
Enjoy your adventure.

Hi Dougwe,
Thanks for that, I thought that I had put it in the general section but apparently not. May be one of the forums administrators are able to move it to the right location for me if at all possible.
Kind Regards,
Alan.

So the adventure begins.
