1980 hightop

finally got our van down here :)
fair bit of work to do to it and a fair few parts to find.
only running on 3, brakes don't work, clutch not engaging, welding to do etc etc etc. nothing too major.
guessing its gonna be finding the missing parts that's gonna be the hardest bit, things like the small top grill in front panel, pair of 1/4 windows for cab doors along side various other bits. did manage to find a new old stock ignition switch with keys though, needed as the van didn't come with one, or indeed any keys.
not really started work on it yet but it does look a million times better for a tickle with the jet wash...

Good luck! Presumably it's ex-Royal Mail/Post Office?

If I told you I was a pathological liar, would you believe me?
 
That's better, looks quite Christmassy:D
Cant be that bad as you didn't blow too many holes in with the jet washer;)

yeah its pretty bad, gone at the bottom, and the top and the middle ;)
could be interested in the front panel martin, need to weigh up time involved making it against cost of panels really. can pm you or message you on your Facebook to disuss cost if you like.

cheers
