As the runner for the door dissapears into the depths, there seems to be a section of box chassis. My van is full inside here, it's mainly stones and damp mud.

I want this OUT! Otherwise it'll just rot it's way through! Can't see any way of shifting it, short of drilling a hole underneath and flushing it out with a hose!

Well I think I will do that, but the section runs underneath the van, nearly to the front of the passenger door, I don't want to wash the crud up there so it sits and rusts!

There's also some big pebbles in there, some the size of brussel sprouts! I think the previous owner made some trips to the seaside...

The pillar behind the passeneger door is open at the bottom, so hopefully if anything does go that way it should run out.

The previous owner was a tree surgeon... so it's full of bark too!
