Front end worse than I thought ,
Bought the van without really having a good look underneath. loads of filler and mesh after a big front end shunt by the looks of it
Front inner panel needed
Front Clip Needed

top half is great . I must have been covered most of its life as the underneath is bad . typical european bus.
front end has been patched up need to take the whole front clip of as its gone under the windscrean and has a load of filler between the lights, bottom half is rotted inner and outer.
Yeh I love the turret top this is 1 off 3 that I know off and maybe the only one in uk with the full oslo westy interior
roll over jig now works well but original fabrication pieces wouldn't attach to where it was supposed too :evil:
as the old saying goes Buy Cheap , Get ****
But wanted to use it as a guide so I can fabricate some in the future!! :msn4:
