Beautifully done Chris. Superb attention to detail -way better than new now. Love the cushions! -Are you missing a leg from every pair of jeans you own now?
As we said at the start, it's interesting to follow a build that's a bit out of the ordinary & even if none of us ever restores a caravan as you have, there's all sorts of ideas & info in there that could come in handy for future projects. Very nice.

Credit for those has to go to Sue, all those late nights in front of a hot sewing machine.  |

Thourougly enjoyed reading through your build Chris, it’s a real credit to you, a question about the Top Coat ….. is it a paint or a resin? and where can I get some from?  Cheers Paul. |

Top Coat in the storage areas, where you mixed grey with white. And here is a strange thing!! I have a feeling that there is one of these parked in my next door neighbours drive, we can only see part of the roof and part of one of the side panels, I sent my son to do a reccie with a camera. Why not just ask them, I hear you say ........ too risky  |

It's basicly gel coat, but gel coat doesn't dry properly when it isn't in the mould, so they add a wax in and that makes it dry. I get it from this company, really helpful and quick ............. http://www.cfsnet.co.uk/acatalog/CFS_Catalogue__POLYESTER_GELCOATS_46.html |

Yeh, the original event that encompassed the National Portafold Gathering was cancelled a month ago. It would have been held at the Retro Festival at White Waltham airfield. So a new event was found to enable the Gathering to go ahead this year. We'll not be there, as we'll be at Pylewell Park the week after and we also have to do some moving round to get the next project into the workshop for us to have room to store the next one that's happening after that!! |

You could always come to the Victory Wheelers event, the weekend after, at Pylewell park near Lymington. Open to the public, I understand, on the Sunday (19 aug). |

That's where they were manufactured all those years ago. |
