Well just picked up my mk5 100 transit v plate it has the rust in the usual places and the back door is bad. Drove it back 70 miles with no probs so thats good. I looked in the back and there is a box which is a mastervolt 12/500 sine inverter now having a google it looks a good bit of kit. The van has been used as a van and needs a good clean and not looking forward to the other supprise it is going to throw up.

I will prob be selling the inverter as its not what i need in my camper plans also may have a roof rake for sale with ladder
Thanks Neil

Took averything out of the van today so just left with the dash started to clean some of the plastics and mat. I think the van will do 0-60 3seconds quicker now with all that dirt gone lol
Plastics to clean

Done some dont think they are bad


couple of pics of the van when i got it thursday



problem is i keep thinking about the rust in the corners must get someone out to have a look

Done a little more today I painted the cab area and started on the back god its addictive lol (still need a welder )
I want to start on the shelf above the cab and saw a post on here but cant find it anybody seen it
Thanks Neil

[Neilg7777]

Well let down by another welder saying he was coming to cost the job and no show. How hard would this be to do for someone who has never welded before as it looks like its going to be myself doing it

I want to start on the shelf above the cab and saw a post on here but cant find it anybody seen it

What was the post about?

[Neilg7777]

Making a overhead storage area in the cab it was part of a camper build but i cant find it now

[supersport]

i'm in bournemouth, cover the cost of materials and petrol and i can come and weld it up
if you want.

[Neilg7777]

Thanks supersport great offer of help I think it needs 2 spring hangers and 2 end plates and bits of floor as you can see in the pics normal sheet metal will do as all will be boarded over. I can get new spring hangers on ebay would that be the best bet also what other materials would I need PM me a price with fuel and materials and also what materials i would need to get this end.
