Found one dampish corner in the van. No mould, just a bit moist. Dried it yesterday and it's fine today. One cam on the rear window there wasn't closed and the Southcoast had that load of raIn the other week. So far in 3 days we've pulled less than 1ltr. Thats with the gaffertaped window too.

The van smells dry, I can see the beauty of the monocoque habitation build. Bondrite gear arrives this afternoon so I'll have a crack at the window removal and repair tomorrow. Bricking it tbh!

Got my first Fibreglass repair completed. Just waiting on a 150mm SCOTLAND sticker as not paying for a pro, finish, match and paint job.

As found, N/S rear bumper.

Ongoing repair

A few wee bits of body related marks on the Habitation and surface corrosion on the van cab. Getting them done and my eye is not snagging as much today. Can see the nice rounded shape clearer. I'm interested to see how much we can bring this van back towards mint just with time spent on it. Fibreglass kit and paint products are under £60 so far. The battery powertools have made this easy. :D

Edit- just ordered an Atari logo sticker for the bonnet. I HAD to! :lol:
