[QUOTE="Yobyekim, post: 601092, member: 26675"] So I had a good look over the bus yesterday. The sills which you can see are solid, no rust at all. Every door underneath is completely solid with no rust, windscreen solid. The guttering has no rust at all.. The cab footwell has been repaired already with plates welded in nicely and no rust. The bottom 6 inches of what you can see is [pretty solid and is not full of filler. The front offside arch where it meets the step has gone so that will need replacing. The nearside arch has started slightly. The rear nearside arch has started where it drops down to the rear end. Slight bit of bubbling around one of the rear windows but apart from that what you can see has been done before and wont require much welding. The tailgate has a minor bit of surface but nothing bad. Engine bay is tidy with no rust The only worrying thing is when I tapped the belly pan you could hear that it has rusted with the usual noise of flakes lol so its probabaly gone under there and also the camper floor in the back has a ply sheet fixed down under lino which is probably hiding the rot. But the van itself for the money I believe is a good buy. The head has been fully rebuilt and all running gear replaced since the MOT failure. [/QUOTE]
