The interior of the guards vestibule on the HKB van is progressing.![]()
Painting of interior surfaces is now progressing quickly.
The handbrake wheel surround and gourds equipment boxes have been painted in the original colour.
Many hours of surface preparation has paid off with a mirror finish now being achieved.
Hundreds of hours work have gone into this task.
Slowly the paint goes on and the appearance of this van begins to transform to resemble what it looking like many years ago.
The ceilings and walls look like new.
Doorway surrounds are painted Indian Red prior to refitting the restored doors.
Even the floor surfaces were restored and repainted with a special mix.
Finally the light switches and light shades and vents are replaced.
Soon the doors will go back on and the internal fittings will go back in place.
