Here is the old girl. I'm making the best of the weather and have got her out of the garage so I can make a list of parts and work needed. I've started stripping doors and glass.
Heres the front panel; it was fitted by a previous owner a few years ago and never got finished. Some tidying needed.
Inside the cab. Better than some other campers I've seen.
Apart from the obvious surface rust, there are a few notches in the windscreen flange caused by weld blow thru. Won't be too difficult to tidy up.
Horrible rear left corner.
Old buckled and rusty rear hatch. Not the van's best angle.
Some work needed in the return lip of the rear hatch.
Same again on the engine hatch edge.
Plenty of filler over an old repair. New bottom corner needed!
A real nasty. View of the right chassis leg just behind the remains of the outrigger and jacking point.
View of the rear rhs outrigger.
RHS chassis leg in front of front outrigger under the seat.
RHS inner sill. It looks like the outer sill has been replaced at some time, but as this was under the belly pan it got left.
Decent gutters at least. Note a few reinforcement plates welded into the roof for the dormobile hinges.
Other gutter. The roof just needs the old red oxide rubbing off and respraying.
Sliding door track looks ok, but I haven't seen behind it yet. The B pillar bottom needs looking at.
Old VW caddy tailgate script welded onto the sliding door bottom. It's coming off.
Old bulkhead repair; I'll be tidying this up once the chassis has been sorted.
So it needs a bit more work than what I originally thought! But it isn't anything too difficult, just time consuming. The front doors are reasonably good, and just need repairs around the mirror bosses. A lot of spares came with it, including just about all the 68 only bits and a pair of recaro front seats. I've just bought a new welder and will be making a start on the chassis over the next day or so.
