Colin, that was absolutely incredible! I'll never do anything like this myself but - for some reason - I found myself transfixed by your efforts here! Isn't it just great to see a sad, neglected old thing like this brought back to life ..... and a good life at that!!

Great vid to watch Colin, takes me back some 50 years when I used to do all my own mechanics and welding, Oxy acetylene in those days no mig lol, can't do these things anymore but its a treat to watch you young uns keeping the art alive, thanks for posting.

Just found your channel via someone else’s channel.. I have an LT35 and just browsing for some ideas. Owned the van for 8 years(I think) it’s a service van, compressor/electric genny in the back and shelving for tools, flood lights/vice etc. I intend to use it to travel to my Jag which is.. 500 odd miles from my home on Scotland.. I have been majorly distracted from both the van and Jag.. but have been in the van again of late … welding stuff it needs a lot of bodywork more than your van and Intend to fix my doors as good old ones are rare(like the mirror shrouds you mentioned) anyhoo have subbed and look forwards to watching and following your restoration channel.. best Malcolm/Fife/Scotland

with the door handles just get some boot polish rub it in with a cloth don't worry about the paint it wipes off, then leave it for ten minutes then buff with a cloth and you'll find they will be waterproof too if the back of the mirrors is the same try it on those to bro, it's looking great and a bargain too.
