Some progress:
One side has been completely finished inside and out
Stipped all paint - crimped and stretched to get that side as flat as possible
Sanded the inside wall and floor area
Made a start on the other side - also had some rust in the window surround
Some photos - more in the gallery "Westfalia hearse"

Some bad phtos of the latest work
The body is completely welded up and rust treated - will soon be dropped of at the blasters to have the underside blasten and zinc metallised
The inner edge of the wgere the roof meets the body is blasted with a small blasting gun to get rid of the corrosion
The door is being prepped to accept that safari rear window

Some progress
The interior is partly etch primered
The rear window cut-out is crafted in place
Took a lot of measuring but it's dead on with the chrome trim belt line holes
Body almost finished to have the underside blasted and zinc-metallised
