hello everyone, I signed up some time ago, but I didn’t take the time to show you the work I did on my t6.
in advance, excuse my rough English!
I am a bodybuilder-painter by trade, I realized the mechanics and the bodywork at a friend bodybuilder who left me his workshop at my disposal.
I dismantled the whole vehicle (engine, interior, doors, hood), for straightening of the bumps and changing of the interiors for painting because I change the color of the t6 in pearl gray of skoda.

complete disassembly of the vehicle begins













Clean the engine compartment and remove the protective wax (a galley), then start straightening the body.
surprise of the seller, at the dismantling of the bumper ar, I discover the skirt ar sunk after a shock, a little work in addition!













Continue with the inside of the crate, then primer the crate and paint the door entrances and inside.

























then it is the turn of the doors, hood .
cleaning of all underbody fairings.

Great work, but you seem to have put the steering wheel on the wrong side when you rebuilt the van
