Tatmobile 2 reporting for duty

[The Tatmobile @TheTatmobile]

SOLD!

[The Tatmobile @TheTatmobile]

@__JVMG__ Thankyou kindly! It’s still not 100% leak free, but it’s made a big difference

[The Tatmobile @TheTatmobile]

Hopefully a liberally applied coat of rust beater will help & may also seal over any water gaps 🤞

[@cheapshow.bsky.social @TheCheapShowPod]

It's going to be... Typical...

[The Tatmobile @TheTatmobile]

@franticplanet @TheCheapShowPod I had an almost identical photo of my little sister, that I took, back in the very early 90s. She was leaping between beds & I caught her perfectly mid-flight. Wish I still had it. It's long gone now 😞🤷🏻‍♀️

[The Tatmobile @TheTatmobile]

@theamazingcliff @flatrob Perfect example of pressure & entertainment. Poor old Simon. Did he ever get out of that hole? 🤣

[The Tatmobile @TheTatmobile]

@KnightmareUK I'm sure I remember watching this episode 🤣

[The Tatmobile @TheTatmobile]

After much scientific felt pen analysis, I think the door leak MAY be resolved, but I think there’s a leak at the sill seam underneath. I need a dry day to put on some 2-part plastic cement to see if that at least seals it 🤷‍♂️

[The Tatmobile @TheTatmobile]

…as for the back of the footwell…um…somewhere?

[The Tatmobile @TheTatmobile]

I’ve got the doorway covered in felt pen to see where leaks are getting in.
I think I’ve sorted this one at the front, you can see broken line & inky blob

[The Tatmobile @TheTatmobile]

Waiting for it to start raining so I can investigate the leak…

@_Channel84 Voter fraud voter fraud!!! The machine let me vote twice!!! Someone tell Mike Lyndell 😆😆😆

[The Tatmobile @TheTatmobile]

…more puzzling is where the water is coming from behind the passenger seat. There’s a recurring droplet on the seat mount & pooling around it, but no sign of water ingress above it🤷‍♂️

[The Tatmobile @TheTatmobile]

Initially I thought the water ingress was the original bung on the underside being perished & water coming up from the road (I’ve temporarily fitted this replacement bung in the top of the floorpan)

[The Tatmobile @TheTatmobile]

…I’ve not moved the van in weeks, but rainwater is still getting in. It’s pooling in the very front of the footwell, so possibly a rain channel is blocked. I guess the windscreen scuttle will need to come off, so I’ll need a dry day to attempt that…

Dehumidifying in progress

[The Tatmobile @TheTatmobile]

Photos so I remember where things go back!
