I have a bit of spare time, as NZ is about to go into full lockdown across the country to try and control the spread of COVID-19, so I thought I would start a build thread on this, and detail the work so far.
I bought this van at a damaged vehicle auction last year. It is a 2018 L1H1, 170hp auto, with only 11,000 kms on the clock. It is a base model I think, with the added option of the large Sync 3 infotainment screen and heated seats. It has the barn rear doors, and LH side loading door (none on right) which happens to be the layout I like most. Most of the NZ specced vans seem to be similar to this.
Looks like it was struck at about 90° from the LF corner, which did a lot of dame to the LF corner. LH chassis rail was quite bent, as well as front bumper, bonnet, radiators, etc. Fortunately no suspension damage, and even though the coolers were bent they did not rupture, so I was able to take it for a drive before dismantling it, and it drove perfectly!
