	Bought some cheap t cut colour magic stuff, I think I can get the paint to come back to life ok, ain’t going to go too mad over it. It’s an old van with a 40 year old paint job. Also bought a new carburettor and inlet, which i will rebuild. Should help the 2.0 perform a bit better. Not sure about this whole ethanol in fuel, should I replace the fuel line with ethanol rated pipe and can you buy rebuild kits the carbs with ethanol safe gaskets etc ?

	Painted the front end now and put it back. Just around the windscreen, all 4 wheels and then polish it up as best it can, anyway buy Xmas wrapping paper after Christmas for like 25p a roll. Great for masking up. A time lapse of the front going back on

	Polished the whole side and back now, one side and the roof, paint the wheels and around the windscreen, Ordered some silver pin strip to take away from the slight paint difference

	Sold the van. It now lives near Telford it will be used to tow classic caravans to shows all over the country so it will finally get some use. I just don’t have the time to make it into a worth while campervan

	Better to let them go than let them sit.
