took the van to be welded today. after just under 2 hours of cutting away at the van the guys were ready to begin welding. and we find that the reair panel does not fit. the ribbed section is different to the original floor. so that ended todays work quite quickly. I'm quite pi**ed off as i wanted to begin painting tomorrow. so now I have 2 great big holes.... flintstone power I called C&C who sold me the panel and they said back in september when i bought it they only had bay window ones. shy did they sell me a panel that wouldnt fit anyway. however he will refund the money for the wrong panel and is sending me the right one. he's paying postage and will be here tomorrow. but the garage is busy so cant get the van finished till monday. here are a couple of pictures of work in progress

Nightmare Can't believe they would just sell you the wrong pan, it would always come back on them in the end. I've used C+C before and they've been very helpful. Hope you get it all sorted soon
