Gallery / Flaws

As this is an old van I stress it isn't perfect and to be as honest as possible, I've put together a gallery of it's flaws. These are areas that will require attention in the long run (most very minor). And some little areas of damage to the interior (chips). This is actually a pretty exhaustive list, so again what you see is what you get. Everything else is fine to excellent. A few hundred would put them all right. I was planning to have the van resprayed to make the couple of panels that don't match correct. I had quotes of 500gbp to 1200gbp. It would look truely perfect then and I'd be looking for a higher price but it looks very good already. My advice to a buyer would be to enjoy it for another this summer at least before bothering. It turns heads aplenty as it is.

This little buit of rust showing up down a seem, is (I'm reliably informed), not serious. The reason I haven't had it fixed is another issue visible here. THere is a slight mismatch in the paint colours. When I had the last work done we discovered that an earlier respray was slightly out. So to mend this minor rust properly it would be best to spray the whole panel to the right. Worth doing, but I've been able to live with it in meantime.
