Extremely NICE job. well done.Anyway the pretty bits.
After looking for replacement "Hymermobil" badges and seeing the cost I thought I'd 'have a go' at repairing - nothing to lose!
The bonnet badge was in 3 pieces and one part regularly spun on its screw and didn't look very good.
Having some pvc sheet leftover from the bathroom walls I cut the rough shape out, and after a good scour of the old signs, PU40'd them on well.
After a good sand, fill, prime, 2 coats of cream and a very careful light roller over with the delicate shade of orange, 3 coats - I'm pleased with the results.
I have had a good practice with the paint, for the big job and saved over £100 on new bitView attachment 496303
Just need the van back now.....
What a great read & a fantastic job, well done
love the old hymers

Mechanical update!
Found a good garage (4th time lucky) thanks funsters Grummyb .
Garage found even more problems...
Also found shortage of parts, mismatched/unoriginal parts and other interesting (broken) parts.
Garage found, a few weeks ago, a source of parts.
The donor vehicle is a motorhome the garage have worked on and unfortunately was in a bit of an argument with another vehicle - in France!
After much ado the French insurance have settled and the van is now on uk soil, but now waiting for customs clearance.
Fingers crossed - family are getting nearly as fed up of squatters as we are of squatting.
Then bye bye Scotland and watch out Spain - Morocco - Spain.

I think you have made a mistake...
I lived for nearly 10 years in a 1987 Hymer 660S but the inside didn't look anything like the one in your photos!
