Got ride of the asbestos sheets from the back and was able to get a look in there, this is what I saw! oh dear, still at least I'll be a...

well I've just finished my shift and returned to find some very helpful advice (well mostly) thank you all, now I've just got to find a way of making a full lift without distorting the bodywork, the chassis won't hold it intact and the sills are rotten with no structural strength. Ive alloted five y...
