"Gloria" - the 1975 panelvan

Post by ThePerks »

Here are a few 'before' pics of my late bay restoration.
I dropped her off last week for the minor rust to be attended to involving several panels. And to have a respray in original white colour. She has a 2 liter CJ motor and runs well. Looking for inner and outer valance for front. Will keep posts coming.......

SLOW DOWN CHARLES........
SOME OF US WANT SOME OF THOSE BITS AND BOBS YOU SEEM TO HAVE FLOATING AROUND. DON'T GO TERRITORIAL ON US NOW.

ANY PROGRESS ON THAT OTHER CREWCAB YOU FOUND? I DID MENTION A FEW ITEMS FROM IT THAT I WAS KEEN ON?

@THE PERKS.
LOOKS LIKE A NICE PROJECT, AND EVEN BETTER THAT IT'S ACTUALLY MOBILE.
A LITTLE BIT OF RUST IS PAR FOR THE COURSE ON THE COAST.

Thanks guys. I'm slowly coming right with rubbers and window seals and the like. Thanks Charles for offer - will pm you. I'll leave some bits and bobs for you Mark ;)
Porkie de Bruyn has it under his care for the next few months and I will be servicing the cargo door mechanism and the like while he is busy. Anyone know which white colour was original? - the 'M' plate has 00/67.
