Thanks Eric.  I didn't see the original post.
Truls, what a great set of pictures.  You have quite a shop setup.  Still, much done on the ground (snow).  It's great when one can do one's own work.  I love the fabrication job.  Lots of cleaning and restoring going on there too.  Let us know how things go.  If your work won't be finished until next summer, there is probably more on your list.Keep up the good (great) work.  It's the Scandinavian way.

Subject: Re: Quick update on rust removal in the rear cross beam

Hey so nice to hear from Norway!  You folks have rust there to?  I thought that was just north east USA. 

Actually I have friends and the Oslo area and need to get back there! 

What a great van to have in that country! 

I hope you keep us posted on your progress.  As I’m the blind member I love the narrative more then the pictures.

Bring it back to life and keep it there!

Best,
