	I would vote for the Unipart livery, not seen it done before. Also your van isnt ex gas or BR its not a restoration colour scheme so freedom to do it however you like 😎

	Glad to see your progressing nicely with the build. I like the idea of a liveried / sign written van, In place of a national company could you not perhaps use the logo of a more regional or local company, or even better use a logo/ design for a business real or fictional that has some connection with either yourself or your family.

I have thought about this and haven’t made my mind up what I want to do with it yet but definitely think it needs something

I'd love to hear the story about how this meeting of transport happened 😂 Its on quick way of lowering at least one side I suppose. Van was clearly parked somewhere it shouldn't have been, which can be seen from what appears to be broken door glass on the left side of the image and has been pushed onto the bollard/capstan by the wagon. Reminds me of being at Llangollen works and the wife nearly getting hit by on 08 shunter because she was looking at it through a camera with a wider field of vision than the human eye. Got some lovely close up pictures of the 08's cooling grilles. Always leave buffer beam clearance

	Well I suppose the plus side of being stuck at home for the foreseeable future is having plenty of time to work on the cars. Have said that I’m bored of stripping the curse word layers of paint off already it’s boring hard work and boring and hard work and I don’t want to do it anymore As I had all the bits and it’s much less tedious I mounted the radiator properly instead, a couple of pieces of aluminium bent into shape and some rivnuts nice and easily

	Kawasaki Ninja airbox cut in half and fitted upside down, still needs work but should work well and is different from a big foam filter, added bonus and purely by fluke the bottom is the same angle as the inner wing

	The original servo and master cylinder was too close to the carbs and I couldn’t fit any kind of filter so it needed to go, this isn’t the master I’m going to fit as I want to get one with a transparent reservoir, it frees up loads of room and the servo fits really nice down in the corner by the rad

	Jim - Its a decent 'stripper' that you need - forget the POR stuff that's just a waste of time & money - here is what I use shop.autopaintsbrighton.co.uk/starchem-paint-stripper-5l-2598-p.asp Various outlets sell it - quick online browse and you will find it via most electronic sales sites Score the paint deeply - Stanley knife used with care works best But its best to it spread on thickly - don't let it dry out - it needs to stay wet I removed 15 layers of paint in 3 applications Has you get down to bare metal don't use a scraper has you tend to create work with the scraper digging into the panel - a pair of marigolds & course wire wool works a treat though

	I've also found covering the paint stripper in polythene can help as it slows it down from drying out. I've put some on, covered it over and left it overnight and come back to it.

	I’m making some progress and it’s actually not as tedious as I thought it would be. It’s definitely going to have some patina but when it’s polished or lacquered it should look cool with some nice wheels obviously

	Something different from sanding today Also been doing coolant/heater hoses and odds and sods like relocating the washer bottle to make room for a hole in the bulkhead for the wiring loom to go through and to mount the coil pack when it gets here
