[WANTED] Rot free body early bay!

[ruth11]

We are looking to purchase a RHD, Pop-Top Early Bay that needs minimal welding or none at all. Looking for an easy project. No botch jobs with panels welded over the top of rust or vans covered in black stuff so you can't see what's underneath - I mean a quality job or original panels that isn't a complete rust bucket.

Engine condition not that important (although I suppose it would help if it would at least get us home!), not too bothered about interior (doesn't even have to be there) and we are happy to get a respray if required - although the price of the van would have to reflect all of these things.

Will also consider completed restorations, depending on price and as long as it isn't green! Cash is waiting for the right van.

Ideally we'd like to see pics of the following before treking out (for vans that need respray etc), unless you're not too far from Leicester
The Battery Pan area (both sides)
Front suspension beam
Chassis members and side braces
Underside/back of all doors
Jacking Points

Thanks

See Scott at VW Classics in Cornwall... He'll sort you out with what you need.

Ok, so the requirements have now changed.

Have decided Tin-Tops are now on the list and also will consider LHD.

Pref want something for around £7k.... Definitely looking early bay.

Am I being a bit optimistic?
