well cleared out most of the rear.the nearside is rusty but solid.the floor at the rear is pretty grim but should be able to rebuild it.raised the roof up but the offside stil needs lifting slightly.

You can still get Mk4/5 floor panels quite cheap and they look pretty similar to what you need.

well removed the floor but not off the chassis rails yet.n/s side needs a smallish repair.the crossmembers are solid with just surface rust.the end of the o/s needs about 6 inches replacing but the rail in the middle needs the most work.

Ah, having had to work through some VERY hot days here to finish the camper off, I know what you mean.

Bonus is because it's all been outside, I have got a tan BEFORE I go on holiday for once ;)
