Today myself and Mr Redcube salvaged a load of interior parts from a caravan and then smashed up the caravan

Dirtydiesel and Redcube on site ready for some destruction
Image

Our mission is to destroy this caravan
Image

Body looks ok in photos but it would of fell apart on the 100 mile trip home
Image

This sink unit and cooker is what im after, it has a foot pump system for the water to tap. Cooker is gas.
Image

The door wasnt wide enough to get stuff out, swift slap of a hammer sorted that out.

Ya got the roof rack as well, it was supposed to be a transit rack but I reckon its off a vw transporter, still with a few mods and tweaks it will fit. Forgot the base was behind me, it let me know on the bog road between johnstown and templetouhy! thought I was gonna loose it it was doing some bouncing :D
