I'm going this Wednesday to check out my van. It's been a long process so far. All the body work is finished, and I'll see the color for the first time. Well, I did see a color chip about 1 inch square. The door jambs and other internal type things that require paint are supposed to be done Wednesday. The rusty gutter/roof area over the right rear door was cut out and new metal welded in. I can't wait to see it. I'll be taking some pictures to share with everyone too.

Rusty gutter and roof section Before.
[Linked Image]

Here it is after the repair. A section was cut out and new metal welded in. A few other spots in the gutter area around the van were done as well. [u][/u]

The color is Sedona Bronze Metallic. It has some sparkle to it when outdoors and looks a bit lighter.

A small area of the slider was cut out and new metal welded in. Bottom right corner.

Nothing more exciting than new paint. Or new tires/wheels , engine, interior, etc... OK I guess it's all exciting to me.

I really like your interior. Is that carpet on the wall?

Yes that is carpet on the wall. There is carpet for all the walls and door panels, I just removed most of it for painting. The floor has carper too, but I'm thinking about putting a wood floor down.

Thanks guys, I'm pretty happy with it so far. It didn't come home today. There's still some touch up left plus it snowed here today. We're looking at tomorrow now.

There is no name as of yet but Hot Chocolate is pretty cool. The color is Sedona Bronze which is in the orange family. It has some gold tones to it as well when in the sunlight. So I'll have to see the van outside on a sunny day. All I've seen outside so far is a small sample paint chip.

I finally got my van back on New Years eve. Of course it freezing cold and snowing now so I haven't been able to do anything with it yet. It's tucked away in a storage garage for now, but there isn't any heat there. However I did make the mistake of tallying up all of the money I've spent on the van. More than $6100 on my $700 van. I still need new tires, door seals, and window channels for it. Oh well, it's only money right...

Sorry it's taken so long to post. My van went back to the body shop for touch ups, but it had many flaws. So it was sanded and entirely re-sprayed. It looks pretty good now. I had some striping added to give it a 70s vibe and to get rid of the UPS look. Got the new wheels and tires on it finally too.

Thank you all or the kind words. I really appreciate them. I wasn't quite sure how it'd turn out and go over in general. I'm calling the van Brown Sugar.

I searched google for 70s vans and disco vans. A van just like the one in your picture was the inspiration for mine. Maybe it's the same van... Attached is one of the photos I found.

Looks good! Makes me want to get my 89 Ford repainted.

Thanks. I wasn't sure about it, but it turned out pretty good.

Well it's been nearly six years since the paint job and overall it has held up pretty well. The gutters/rain troughs are rusting pretty bad now, and in places there was previously. The rust that was there before was supposedly repaired when the bodywork was done and the van painted. It has been parked in a carport with 3 solid walls up until the past few months so hasn't been exposed to rain, snow or salt. I think the "sealer" used on the gutters is reacting with the metal or the old sealer. All of the old sealer wasn't removed and the new stuff went right over it, and it is now separating from the van as well.

Has anyone ever had a roof cut off and replaced? If so around how much is the cost I'm looking at? I don't have the place, equipment or expertise to do something like this myself, so a body shop of some sort would be in order.

On the bright side, I took the van to a local dual car show here last month. One side for all original antiques, and one side for customized or non-antiques. The van earned a top 25 trophy after participant voting in the customized or non-antiques side. Yes there were more than 25 vehicles, LOL, probably around 80 to 100 and more on the original antique side. A few days later the heater core puked up in the driveway. I guess all the excitement was just too much...
