Not Good !

I've seen worse, at least someone thought it worth repairing and keeping on the road. It might have ended up in a field somewhere beyond saving, like so many others.................
What you're seeing there is the history of the van, where you take it next is up to you............ (and your bank manager! )

Welding practice is usually carried out on scrap metal first!

[Neil MG]

The sad thing is that the cowboy who butchered those repairs probably thought he was doing a good job!

[Mickeymorris66]

Neil Your Not wrong there !!

Still the van is 50 Years old , so you expect some repairs !

Maybe not as much as that ! but hey ho .lol.

She will look amazing once she's all done ! Esm are taking great care of that ! The Bank manager is too

I hope ???

Wow, and it looked quite good even before the restoration began, it's amazing how much a bit of shiny paint can hide.

Ok you weren't expecting all this and all this plop welded repairs BUT if the previous owner hadn't done these patch up jobs you wouldn't have the pick up now!!
No matter how slight you can see a poss out of a neg. Oh and minor panels are cheap it's just a shame you aren't doing the work yourself to save an enormous wedge of money. At least though you will know it's sorted 100%.
Oh and i've seen far worse after the blasted blasters !!!!!!!!

[POMMReg]

Any chance of pm'ing the chassis and cab number please?

[Mickeymorris66]

Gbond .. Yeah thats very True, But once you've got up close to it you could see that its been rushed, due to selling it to me ....

But she will be completely built up from new ! Cant wait !!

[Mickeymorris66]

MrIAN

Yeah i know what you mean , it would save a hell of a lot of Money , but I'm that clever on cars .. Building houses !!! No problem lol

But EsM will do an amazing job on the pick up I'm sure !!

It will all be worth it !!! So i keep telling my wife ! Who by the way thinks I'm MAD !!!!!!!!!!! going Mad or GoNE MAD
