Well done, this is going to be a good solid Bongo again. Loving your work, excellent thread and nice to see a quality job being done. Keep at it - I think you are turning the corner.

@PLONKATRONICS if you think your Bongo was bad take a look at this VW http://www.mig-welding.co.uk/forum/thre ... dow.38835/ Can't believe what some people will take on

Someone on Bongo Fury supplied a link to an Add On called Photobucket Hotlink Fix. Maybe that's why I can see all the photos in that Mig Welding Forum

Had a look at another job on our rusty Bongo today. The dreaded roof rust! Looked like a few tiny rust bubbles, ended up with a huge bloody hole this van will be the death of me. More welding lol.

I just didn't plan on this much work. Im just titivating until winter then I'll rip it to bits and get welder out or reshell it lol. As much as I hate it, I really have fell in love with it and the camping thing. It's great for the family. The good times and happy memories we are making deffo outweigh the bad times. off to try camping/pub crawling tomorrow using that "park4night" app. Found a few nice spots.
