Tailgate alignment

Post by Hash brown »

Hello people

Have just joined the club and have purchased a holdsworth villa3. Whilst giving it a proper looking over I noticed there seems to be a bow on the top of the tailgate - is this normal or am I looking at a new tailgate b4 I have it sprayed.

Hopefully I can copy the link correctly and you will see the picture

Thanks

some are like that, not an issue,
what is the alignment like on the vertical sides and is there any rust rot at the bottom inside or out, in fact as youve posted a really good pick up first time how about some more of the van prior to works and whereabouts are you

The condition of the tailgate is probably the best bit of the body work tbh.
I'm not far from Bath, about 10miles or so.

This picture is one that the seller took and makes the van look very tidy, but I'm going to get some prep work and a respray done as some1 sprayed it blue then some1 did a crap job of spraying it white again.
