That is some really impressive bodywork considering the condition it's in. Wish I could weld like that.

Re: Some serious Syncro bodywork repairs
Aidan, do you know this vehicle? Is it another ex Yorkshire Water van? The tow bar cross beam seen in some of the pics is just like the one on mine.
My guess is that it was left on during the repairs because the (not so) captive nuts on the central fixing had rusted solid.

Re: Some serious Syncro bodywork repairs
It wasn't long ago, we (the T3 people) used to laugh at the work that was put into Splitties & early bays.
Vans like that ^^^^ would of been off to CJ with no-one else being interested.

Wow I was worried about the amount of welding on mine, but it seems nothing now I've seen that. Gives me confidence that everything will be ok Thanks for sharing

Re: Some serious Syncro bodywork repairs
Madness.
Surely a re-shell 2wd->Syncro would be better/cheaper than trying to fix that properly ?
E D I T. Just looked at more of the pics, he's certainly got some skilz and commitment !

Re: Some serious Syncro bodywork repairs
I agree with Andy, its madness!!
All that work and it will still be rusty! How is he aligning the rear arms for example ?
