Late Bay Resoration

This late Bay panel conversion was restored and repainted in a modern VW Denim blue colour.

This customers van failed the MOT on rotten sills and a few other bits of welding, but typically, it was much worse than originally thought. The van had previously been restored, but some of the work needed to be redone.

The van was not straight at all, but it looked a lot better than it was - look at the shape of the sill and reflection of the Beetle

The side panel was pretty rotten and damaged, so it was replaced with a full panel
