Could just look worse than it is...

All depends on how bad any rust/rot is. The inside looks ok, I don't suppose it's got a MOT. Could be a project for someone who's got lots of time, and a bit of money. I suppose it could be a gamble for someone, I'd like to know if it turns over.

That looks like a lot of work to me...peak, windscreen, gutters, rear quarters, rear doors, tyres, roof looks mouldy etc. soon adds up and that's what can see...cheap though

I dunno, body looks the right side of shot to me..

Who knows what the engine like though.

Could only be suitable for donor spares - or an expensive rebuild. Has anyone been to take a look?

The bidding has started.
That'll be the nostalgic retiree with a welder, plenty of time and a paintbrush...

Betterer than new ...

Ah Steve's old pick up[8D]
Did you have to use THAT as an example[:0] See where you're going though

 

[jimberlake]

Ha I know...sorry about that. Yes steves one. Issue is driving space and rear space..plus I cant fit a coach built under the car port. Plan is to try to crew cab it and then create a Rapido folding caravan style on the flat bed left over boxed in in Cedar... All got to look good so bit of work to do over next 2-3,years, not interested I towing a caravan...we'll see where we get to! Built a mock up already and it might just work!

Sounds interesting[8D] Looking forward to see progress - have you finished it yet

 

[greg]

Could just raise the car port
Are you sure you didn't buy this Campervan off Ebay Jim... with all this time on your hands

Betterer than new ...

 

[jimberlake]

almost there, about 3 years left to do

Yes in hindsight I would have put a higher roof cant raise it as it connects to the full roof of the garage, pain really. If I can get this done it will look the nuts (I think)!

Well done on your purchase Jim, stay away from towing caravans.
