it started out as super market delivery van in ivory, was repainted & sold on to a old timer who drove up to his peeper started failing him, it was stored in doors until now. I know she not a beauty,but it has a very sound under body with the side loading door that is almost perfect, bottom of rear door is totally gone (replacement anyone?) :D. seats OKish, Di running fine 8) have got replacement steps, sills, lower rear corners on line.
Its a hens teeth situation getting parts over here :wink:
Im going to see a same model rolling shell next weekend.

Will post fotos of it if we strick a deal !


Check out my Mk5 Restoration project post more foto added today
