The plot thickens. The welder who originally had agreed to work on her locally has broken his leg... We also had a VW nutter come and take an angle grinder to her (thats where things get really weird) exposing the rust to the elements... We want desperately (overly emotionally attached to her) to ke...

Thanks boatbuilder!

These threads and pictures are really helpful in getting an idea of what will be required. I'm going to show them to the welder at the weekend and see how he feels.....

inner sills ,i have some oe ones but they maybe for a project , patterns work so so £130 ish the lower fridge side pannal needs making to fit the patter lower sill, and you will need the inner closures as per the thread you can get away with an overpanal but they are not right really if your going ...

Hey, Thanks for the initial diagnosis, and its mostly as expected. She was last on the road 3 years ago, so we knew full well she'd be it a fairly rough condition now. Add to that the fact we know the work done on Tilly previously was botched everywhere, and it's no surprise it won't be an easy fix....

Hello everyone, We're dragging our beloved T25 out from several years of neglect, and desperately need some advice on the sorry state of her sills (amongst others probably) and necessary welding to get her back on the road.

After ...

We've had a read of the wiki, but it's up the front that we were having trouble.

Thanks for letting us know it's visible from the front wheel arhces, we've run it through now and are fairly happy with it's route.

Could you just confirm whether the outer goes over the front suspension or under?

Hello We've just yanked out the old throttle cable, which was laid through some old rubber fuel line, and are going about fitting a new cable and housing. The van is a 1980 RHD, but I can't for the life of me work out where the accelerator cable runs after it comes through floor at the front. It loo...
