mk2 pick up

[ovlov]

Ive just been told about a mk2 pick up sat on a farm near me, its been there about 7 years so will prob be a bit rough. I think its around a B reg if anyone is interested in it i can try and find out more, its about 5miles south of Middlesbrough. Going on my hols for a week so leave a message on forum and I will try to have a look when I get back

Find out for me please, I know somebody looking for a pickup, though was wanting a runner as a project! You would be suprised about trannies stood about for years. Our big un was used as a shed for about 5 years. Now in just this past week she has been to Milan and back and will be appearing in a film soon!

sorry can't see it! What went wrong??!!

[ovlov]

Dont know fred wont up load piccys

[ovlov]

Think got it to work this time

[FredTransit]

Ah, that's better, or then again maybe not!! I would be interested in the mirrors and the doors, and the tank sender.......... Had I been with you I would have had a pile of parts off by the time you had read the end of this post!!

[transitgeoff]

cant your bodyman do anything with it Fred? i know you said hes handy with a welder.

[ovlov]

hoping to get some parts off it myself to help with my mk1, The farmer wasnt there when I called but if you serious Fred will try to get some parts for you, door bottoms are rotten am taking a better pair off my mk1 think they are realy mk2s as they have a raised square peice round the door handles need a bit of welding in bottom corner but are quite good realy, just let me know

[FredTransit]

I thought of whole doors, even if they are rotten as they have the glass, handles and hopefully window winder mechanism/handles. I have to say I haven't found a dumper for a while (and I have looked!). when you have got it in front of you, things spring to mind. silly bits like the door catch striker (on the door pillar), even the screws that hold them on. And the catch on the bonnet (or the whole bonnet if it won't come off).

[ovlov]

Let me know what you want Fred and I will see what I can do

[FredTransit]

Thanks ovlov, but I don't want to take the piss and give you a list of 40 bits, big (doors) and small (door catch screws/sender unit)!! I have been known to visit dumpers three or four times, so I wouldn't expect you to dismantle the whole thing by remote control! I am hoping to come north in sept, if things work out, and I am sure the pickup isn't going anywhere.

[ovlov]

Yes it is Fred the farmer has been told to clean up the farm and its all going for scrap, What you dont see in the piccys is the big heap of scrap waiting to go Ive persuaded him to leave the tranny to last.

[FredTransit]

Oh sh*t! I see. When does he want to get rid? I would need the little bits like door catches (on the door post), light switches, bonnet catch, glass, window winder mech and handles if they are any good, and tank sender. Ooh, and steering wheel.
