Not a fail but the bottom of the sliding door is well gone, and there are a few spots underneath the window rubbers
Some pictures of the above areas (sorry about the quality, taken on my iPhone):
From a look at the photos, a restorer gave me a ballpark figure of somewhere between £2-3k for the work required as it's obviously mostly in structural areas and not a small task!
I'm hoping some of you rather knowledgeable 80-90 folk might be able to advise whether or not it's worth getting the work done or if I should cut my losses and look for another van to transplant the engine and interior into? I've come across someone selling a van for £1500 with no engine (it was a watercooled van but was most recently running a 1.6 Aircooled engine - I'm assuming it would be a straight swap of the 2.0 engine and gearbox into the van?) or interior. I'm yet to see it in the flesh, but am told that it is pretty solid underneath but the fuel filler panel, one of the steps and the rear corners are the worst bits. Some pictures of it are below.
Can anyone give me a ballpark figure of the cost for the panel work on the white van?
Your thoughts are welcome!
Ian
