Campervan dent repair

[Louise2cv]

I love to read about these skills that people like Mr B here has, along with so many of you.

 

It makes me feel sh*t about by own lack of talent but apart from that it's so cool to see what people can do with some bits of metal. Amazing!

 

I reckon £4000 is fair considering the work, as mentioned above, most people would have filled it if they'd bothered at all, plus the mechanicky bits.

[Joey spud]

That repair is the bollox.

[Pillock]

Four large for all that?

Very tempted, there's even time to organise somewhere to put it.

[andrew e]

Mr B, sit on it till next spring and go high on the £££ - this is a camper that has proof it will go anywhere and hasn't been doddering about. I reckon that's a premium of ONE LARGE on the price your thinking.

 

Top miracle tailoring SKILLZ too on the rear quarter.

[Pillock]

Don't listen to him. Sell it to me, cheaply, and regret it later. It's what a WINNER would do.

[andrew e]

Pah! You want to harvest Mr_B's SPENT SEED from the crusty mattress you can CLONE him. Probably.

There has been a whole lot of wrongness on this forum this weekend.

[Anglevan]

yeah Mr B is back - Autoshite is saved !!!!!!

 

Great work as always

[dollywobbler]

Whoa, hold on a minute. Credit where credit is due, obviously that's great skillage and red primer is always FTW, but you haven't got a reverse light anymore. *shakes head*

 

No concours prize for you sir.

There is another way to sort it without all that fancy spray paint business:

 

 

That red oxide patch is conveniently painted the dimensions of the average new van tail light cluster, so paint one on the other side and draw a few lines for the various lights, then job done with the bonus of looking very contemporary. Maybe trial with adding some glitter to the red oxide to make them sparkle a bit.

Do you have any more photos? I can't buy it unfortunately but would like a good drool over it. Looks a nice old bus.

[stephen01]

I'd still be thinking what to do!

 

great job. bet you can sleep easy now..

[oldcars]

Now this will be some roffle..

At least if i win it i will have somewhere to live when the wife chucks me out 

[Burnside]

Brilliant craftsmanship as ever from Mr Bol looks a nice example too, well worth the coin. Shame I'm skint as ever or I'd love to have that myself. Though if I brought that home I'd definitley be living in it too!

[Lankytim]

That looks fab, I reversed my Dad's brand new C15 van into a customers house years ago and the damage looked identical. It was never repaired though as it was deemed too difficult, 

 

I don't think you'll have too much trouble shifting that when it's finished, especially at the start of the summer.

If ever a camper needed the reg plate BOL 10X, it's this one.

Excellent repair. 99.9% of people wouldn't have bothered do to such a job. Eight out of ten cats approve.

I need to get on with this camper van so I took it up the garage the othetr night to do some tinkering.

 

 

I was sure it would need some welding so i decided to have a look underneath and see what I could find.

 

Took off the OSF wheel first.

 

 

Didnt take long to find a nice big hole!!!

 

 

The battery tray is directly above this hole and its a bit rusty too but thats not so critical. But a rust hole beside the strut tower is no good so I spent ages chopping it all out.

 

 

Repaired it with two big patches!!!! Basically finishing off my big sheet of Zintec, Found a leaky CV boot as well so I have bought a new one off eBay for a tenner.

 

I'm sure there will be some more welding to be done - more next week no doubt

[DSdriver]

It reminds me of a Citroen CX on steroids with the spare under the bonnet. 

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Think the gearbox in these is something to do with a CX actually

[xtriple]

You have done good work there old lad. I am impressed Neat welding and the rear end repair is first rate.

 

Would it tow a Bentley? If so I could live in it and wander the country in search of loose women and adventure!
