Hi mate. Sweet van 8)
Don't bin it :!:

Ask your friends, family, and colleagues if they know of a cheap welder,
cos if you don't you know what will happen...

'Oh, you shouldn't have scrapped that mate,
my bruvva woulda welded that up for a oner!'

Well, that's what always happens to me anyway :roll:

P.S. I've had the Recaros in all my cars, but not the van, yet.
How do they feel in there after a longish journey?

Cheers
Paul

well wheel bearings are nowt (free) - just take the play out of them - it's probly the wheels that have caused excess wear.

the rear crossmember not to bad to do but you do have to maek the panel :) and the spring hangers you can buy as complete assemblys just cut off the old and weld on the new :D

and if you want to save a few quid just take off the antiroll bar then it will pass, but dont bin it as you might want to fit it later as the handeling will be sloppy without it :)
