Overdue stripping.

I know I should have done it sooner, I should have stripped off the vinyl lettering as soon as the Buckingham Palace event was over. I just knew that they would leave a mark at the very least.
Well due to the excessive temperatures we had in early July, the Palace gardens reaching 31.2 degrees, the perimeter wall helping to keep any breeze out, I just knew I was going to have a problem.
Yes, also leaving them on till now has had a big effect.

The paint has changed and the ghost lettering can clearly be seen. Nothing for it but I must now rub down and repaint some of the panels on the van.
This is one of the many problems you encounter when "your van is for hire" a cost that must be factored in.
Magnetic signs are better but can also effect your vans paint work. If they get wet or if the signs are left on for long periods of time they seem to make the paintwork sweat.
Still I'm sure I would be bored without these extra little jobs. Now I just have to find the time as the nights draw in, to work on the van.
Just to tell you all, that ALL the side lamp castings have been sold, I have no more and I won't be getting another batch made. The only J parts I have for sale at the moment are the NEW rear shock absorbers mentioned in the last posting and a NEW Lucas headlamp bowl with chrome bezel, headlamp wiring loom and hollow mounting bolt. Picture to follow.
