Hidden Treasure....
Sometimes you do find a little bit of a surprise during a restoration....
When we originally bought the van, the semaphores had been welded up on the B-pillars. When we came to replace the B-pillars, we just cut the whole lot out, only then did we decide to cut them open..... guess what we found on one side:
Yes, one of the original Barndoor semaphores had been welded up inside the 'B' post! Its beyond repair, but a really nice find. Will go in one our display cases in the showroom. We've got NOS ones to go in the van, but it was nice to find one of its originals.
