Shame the driver of the hiab didn't sort the strap out properly and stoved the front arch in right before my eyes!!! :cry:

Came with some random stuff, even had a box in that was taped up, so I opened it thinking it would be a nice present and it was just rubbish! literally rubbish!

All the problems with my vans bodywork it doesn't have, but where my van is mint this van is toasted, must of been a right battle wagen!! lots of dings and dents to sort out.

This is weird! cutouts in that deform panel.

back is a bit bent.

but its all striped and easy to work on!

Will have another poke around tomo.

So the plan is to swap over everything from my van to this. But can you spot the mistake Ive made??

by the way does anyone know what this is? Is it even anything to do with the van? thought it might be for the door hinge to bolt into but theres no thread.
