1984 LWB panel van Alex

[madvanman]

most of the rot was hidden behind ford original underseal that had set like filler
the cab floor has been caused by a leaky windscreen, a good warning to all IF YOUR WINSCREEN LEAKS GET IT SORTED OR YOUR CAB WILL LOOK LIKE THAT ^ TOO IN LESS TIME THAN YOU THINK!
I didnt notice the spring hanger problem untill i picked at the flakey underseal on it. another tip if you going to use underseal only put a thin layer on or when it dries out it will trap water and accellerate the corrosion.

Fred have you been buying you mot's off ebay, If so how much for
That kind of rust must of been there last mot.

Er, no! It's had 12 months almost to fester. MVM has just done a chassis of one of our lutons, and a spring hanger, that still has 3 more months on the test.

It dont take long thats for sure, My van still had four months test when I did the rear bumper(after some tw4t reshaped it last year!), when i took it off the rear cross section had a small hole in it.....until I got the angle grinder out that is then it was a continuous hole all the way accross
