Time has come to let my first bus go as I have just got myself an american bus.Bought this bus in 2004 ran it for a year or so then had the idea of getting rid of all the dodgy m.o.t work that had been done over the years,so started cutting out all the old repairs to replace with new panels while doing this I decided I wanted a panelvan so bought a latebay panelvan shell off ebay for the panels I needed.This is where it all went wrong while bringing me the panelvan the guys trailer flipped on the motorway and destroyed the van, but I had already sold the interior and poptop so was stuck with a shell with a big hole in the roof.Then we lost our unit where the van was stored so it has just sat in my garage so with a three year old son and house project I know I havnt got time to do the welding thats why I have bought the american van as it needs non.
So its a 71 rhd english dormobile rolling shell no interior no poptop no engine or sliding door front panel has been chopped off so has both rear corners,rear arches,sills,cab floor front arches and front tubs ,engine lid is good tailgate needs small repair both doors are there but need skins, all glass is there as is gearbox front beam has creative adjusters recent balljoints and bearings.The roof is very good around the gutters and the cargo floor is very good not rotten at the back like a lot I have seen all the other smaller parts I took of the van are still with it in boxes and still have both bumpers.Really wanted to do this van but just dont have time so would like to see it go to someone that could restore it have had offers to cut it up for the roof and rear corners but couldnt bring myself to do it. Dont really know what its worth just need the space and some cash to spend on my new van ,anymore info just ask will try and get some pics but like I said its in the garage so a bit hard to take I am in sheffield so let me know if anyone wants a look at her
