Tam & co the great winter escape

[Wissel]

Northernraider , Wissel , what do you think of this one please, worth investigating?

My worry would be what's underneath (but I haven't read the whole advert)

There were so many times when a panel that looked to me like it could be repaired was cut away by Tam, only to find a load more rust that wouldn't have ever been seen. Until it had spread.

The unknown was what put me off the idea of a Vario. I likely wouldn't have bought one if Tam's hadn't become available as I don't have the skills or the time to sort the rust out.

Maybe the one in the advert has had the bodywork restored as well as Tam's? No idea.

Lovely looking van though and looks a nice conversion.

Maybe a budding partnership emerging? Tam does the bodywork, David does the conversion

Thanks, it certainly is a worry, Mercedes vans from any age do rust like no other lol, but I didn’t know that there was so much which you couldn’t inspect?
The conversion bit looks very high quality , I love the light interior , light oak and fabrics used.

Yeah i think that's probably more realistic. I know i got this at a good price. Considering it has half the miles of that one

Last update for today as we have to wait on varnish drying before we can install the next bits

 

[TM59]

What a great job. Someone very skilled on the tools. Look forward to see what you do with the vario. Is Tam aware you charge £50 per hour.
