Im getting wheels blasted tomorrow and gonna be painting them white, The chassis is solid, wheels are good, rear mud gaurd is solid, foot plates are good, the only things that are quite bad are what id call the dash tower (1st picture) and the bonnet so i am on the look out for these items but im going to continue with everything else in the mean time.

good to see you found the New forum.yes the dash tower looks like the tin worm have had a feast,but you have the friends and work conections to sort this out. the hardest part is sycing your self up to make the first repair. i will be watching.

Your on your way now then, good job on the wheels. Looks like the tyres are good.

[vhgmcbuddy]

tyres are a tad gentle to be honest that why i have not attempted to take off rims. i wanted to realy. they all hold air realy well but are very perished around the bead but all is ok for now.
