Ooops wrong picture


Whilst debating whether to chop or save the panelvan I had some illuminating chats with Dai about where rust lurks on our vans and whilst I'm chopping this one up I shall hope to document these often hidden areas where the vans rot as a photo guide and maybe as a video which may be of use to those restoring their vans and also to potential new buyers. Let the horror begin
floor although solid is hiding a lot methinks


photos taken from the C pillar forward and around the underneath of the sills


















This particular jacking point has collapsed when jacked up with the high lift and you can see why from the previous shots

Blimey, that looks rough. Some of those pictures look the ones they took of the Titanic, on the sea bed....

My computer display is out of focus.

I have to say that the chap in the first pic is a true Syncrophile with the badge to prove it and one of the best Syncro Multivans in existence (belonging to him) in the back ground! Few people have proved themselves worthy of such a badge.

Anyway the remaining pics show a sad sad story of the state our Syncro vans can get to if neglected and badly maintained. Who would have thought that the van being murdered right now was once being thrown at everything with gay abandon.

This was it last year ....



Probably best it gets chopped up .....
