Just bought a mk1 pickup!

[Focustjohn]

Here he is memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=42705

I found him last night thanks! I'm going to start a thread with pictures to see if anyone can help me source parts!

[Focustjohn]

So here are the pics with thanks to tapatalk!

As you can see it's in a poor condition, the floors are ruined, holes in the wings, holes I. The inner wings, side steps are ruined, the bottoms to the seats are ruined butt he backs are actually fine!

Engine looks horrendous, probably best just being replaced. Underneath the van is solid! Chassis seems ok.

I need your help and advice to get this project on the go, if we can't get bits for it my dad will just get rid of it which is a shame as it really would be awesome when finished!

If anyone knows where's best to source parts or knows anyone Selling bits please let me know!

What do yous think anyway? Too much work? Is it a lost cause?

Wow! How are your welding skills?

[Focustjohn]

I can't weld haha my dad's a builder so he knows a lot of welder a, it's not the welding that's the problem, it's sourcing the bloody parts!

It needs new inner wings, outer wings, there the mains bits, the floor could probably be welded up without too much fuss.

Door steps and sills on EBay. Wings come up now and then, the rest is all down to fabrication I'm afraid I might be able to help with small items though

As Muttley says, you are going to have to make a lot of it yourself. Be very satisfying when done - and worth a few quid too!

I know what you mean but it's my dads choice haha! Once the wings have been replaced and floors welded up it won't be too bad! Think we're throwing a different engine in it, I need to source parts for it ASAP or me dad will get pissed off and get rid of it. It will be awesome IF it gets finished

[ColinJack]

... It will be awesome IF it gets finished

When

[Focustjohn]

... It will be awesome IF it gets finished

When

I know I'm being as positive as possible,
Got someone coming round to have a look at it tomorrow to do welding and spraying! Iv found some wings, it needs loads like headlight surrounds etc. I'm going to start a build thread tonight, iv got more pics which show its...... Condition

How do you take the wings off? Are they welded on or bolted?

[Neil]
