where is this work happening? i know the date is a while away, but just found the postings and was getting excited......
what engine is it?
i have a small m/c shop and folding machines (sheet metal stuff) so any bits that cant be found i could help rebuild/repair.
although its not portable, i has a TIG welder and can weld ally too.

just an idea being thrown into the pot....
will the van be at mania for ideas and deligation of jobs?

unfortunatly i've got my caravan on tow otherwise i could have brought it down on the A-frame ......... so NO :( but we can have a chat at TM over a few beers :mrgreen: thats when all the best ideas come out :lol:
what i will do is go over to the van (it's at my mates) and take a few hunderd close up photos of all the areas and post em up to give everyone involved a very good idea of whats needed (it'll have to be when i get back from TM) - i can even rip out the ply lining so no suprises there :idea:

Thought I would now make this an official offer after speaking with Luke and others at mania.I have a Mk4 on an `L 150 swb custom that I will offer as another donor vehicle.Would be good to measure and make patterns and strip and clean bits whilst others were being dismantled.

I also know a commercial breaker ,if we knew what we needed before-hand I would bring it up.

I have pretty good knowledge of mechanics and a comprehensive set of tools including sockets and spanners,ramps and stands,grinders and cutters -mains and cordless.Electrical and woodworking tools.A portable compressor and tools.WHY.

Looking forward to it!!
