Living Van Restoration Progress

Living Van Restoration Progress

25th September 2009

Progress on the living van is proceeding at a rapid pace.

Below: Davy Sheen has overhauled and repainted the stove, black-leaded it and polished the tarnished brass. A collar to fit the chimney to the base is now being designed before the assembly is tested before refitting into the van.

Below: Meanwhile, Shaun has completed reboarding the roof and is now tackling the ends and sides. The rate of progress is quite something and the quality of his woodwork is excellent. Some repairs have been carried out to the framework whilst the panelling has been removed. This is in excellent condition and shows how robust the design of the van actually is.
