Well, the start of one! :P

Just bought another Mk2

Its a 1980 SWB Panel van
2litre auto
3 owners from new, 77,000 on the clock
lift up tailgate
glazed side door
ply lined from new

Needs 2 new wings, and sills, back arches and corners, plus some welding under the floor, thats as far as i know, so far! :) But, I got it off a friend, through the phone, I haven't seen it yet! :shock:

This one is going to stay standard, just as it rolled out the factory :D

I should have it later this week, will be getting pics then

I said it was red!

He did tell me on the phone, of course I could be wrong, I have slept and been to work since then! :P

I do know, that the first owner had a dodgy leg, thats why it's an auto, second was his son. Then it was put into storidge in 1999, then my mate bought it last month, but he now hasn't the time to do it.

It's coming with a new wing, and sills too :D
