Re: What did you do today?
You are seriously over estimating my level of can be arsed-ness. I didn't even bother properly organising them in an order, let alone going as far as resizing. It was enough effort to upload the max of ten images on an attachment at a time.Eddie Honda wrote: ↑Mon Nov 11, 2019 9:26 pmNo it really isn't. My collection thread was resized on-the-go and it helped to preserve my roaming allowance.

Usually I'd use Tapatalk and let their servers resize them while mass uploading. However you need to be a premium member for that in the latest update now and I'm too tight to pay for something like that.

Re: What did you do today?
It took an age for them to load for me on a 100MB connection. I suspect that it's more the forum file servers struggling with their allocated bandwidth than individual connection issues.
On the flipside I also never bother to resize my phone photos as there doesn't seem to be pre-installed software for it and I suck.

Re: What did you do today?
That seems to be a fact of life with these old vans unfortunately, presumably being designed for a life of about 8 years or so as a delivery van and then scrapped as they'd be worn out.mercrocker wrote: ↑Mon Nov 11, 2019 9:18 pm Got my T25 back this morning.....Eye-watering bill, but 45 hours of bodyshop labour never going to be cheap I suppose. Three separate areas were repaired - side window aperture and associated panelwork, bottom right hand corner of engine bay - that had been ominously bubbling up the seams for a couple of years now. Also the sliding door has had new bottom and been re-hung. Not a lot to show for it, outwardly, but hopefully will extend the van's life. This is the 2nd bout of such expenditure in 13 years.
When I had my T2 done the guy reckoned it'd need doing again in about 10 years, they're just rust buckets.
Living by the sea doesn't help and the 'rust-free' doors etc. that were fitted were not that after a couple of years in the UK so they needed redoing.

Re: What did you do today?
I appreciate that more money will always need to be spent on other bits but surely a certain area that has been repaired and properly treated should be expected to last more than ten years?

Re: What did you do today?
Yeah - I was a bit surprised as it was bare-metalled and then rust-proofed after being painted.
The guy who said it was the main guy's assistant and a bit of a miserable twat but I think that the salt air has a big effect, judging by how quickly things go rusty here - we're only about 100 yards from the sea.
He may have been referring to potential rust in the seams etc.of the second hand panels, a lot of which were used as they were/are unavailable new, where there initially appeared to be no rust but it seems to 'leach out' from concealed areas over the years. I've just had this with the passenger door which is exacerbated by it being designed to allow water in which then supposedly leaves by drainholes in the bottom so the door is always full of moist sea air.

Re: What did you do today?
Vans
I had a VW T4 looked great but hiding lots of Grot! My T4 was the one where I let my heart rule my head
Went to look at it with a tried and tested checklist,saw a pretty looking shiny van fell in love with it and checked nothing!
Oops
I remember the day I had a conversation with Sam on the way home from work about it "Dont get Angry I said "
As I said you know that bit of rust bubbling I was poking at?
Do you need to fill the front wings she said? Err what front wings I said
The original fillermeister was an artist
As said Vans were never supposed to last,conversion vans because of the cost it was hoped they would last but at heart they are still just a van.
Have to agree with Clint though if a repair is done properly in a manner to make it last it should last more than 10 years.
The factory would only do the bare minimum so they were not liable for the duration of their anti perferation warranty thats all they cared about
Whereas we want them to last!
What I do find amazing thesedays are how people will try to follow factory stuff when putting a car back together when thats what caused it to rot in the first place!
I once filled a hole in my classic mini door skin,cut it out ground down the rear glassed from the rear then hammerite on the inside of the patch then Isopon p40 on the outside,p38 primed painted and then loads od grease over the repair on the inside lasted indefinately!
Eventually car was restored had new door skins that soon started rotting again much quicker than my so called bodge
As they say "its not what you do its the way that you do it"
