Sliding door bottom
Obviously need some kind of front end dent repair (caused mainly by spare wheel)


This van was parked at a vw garage in Sacramento, California for 15+ years. Unfortunatly the sliding door was sat on the floor next to it (hence the bottom being rusty). The cargo floor was wood panelled and this over time got wet from the rain and held the moisture on the floor causing it to rust. This is why its only the floor and not cills and jacking points. According to the garage we purchased this from it belonged to a local lady prior to being parked up and was well loved and regularly serviced which is probably why the engine and brakes seem ok.



We had planned to weld this and leave the paint as is, slam it with a nice set of wheels and use as our shop truck but have instead purchased a twin slider panel van which is more appropriate hence sale. If this doesn't sell over the nest couple of weeks we will do all work needed and re-advertise.

We are starting to weld this bus and getting it back on the road. She will be reposted with MOT, Tax & Registration and new price. :D
That's a shame - just seen this - I'm sort of looking for one with a mashed in front panel, but I wouldn't want to pay you to do the work.
