You may remember that the roof of the van had been crushed by a chain during transport at some time
Just why any transport would dog down a chain like that is beyond me

I attempted to straighten the left side some time ago, not very successfully

I have now attacked the right side and got it as close as I can

The left side damage is directly behind a frame work and practically inaccessible
luckily the right is slightly away from the frame

There is daylight showing through near there, which will have to welded to make it water tight

I have rented the oxy/acetylene and maybe able to have another attempt at the left side
And I still have the big rip in the roof to look at
