Where do I start?

Why did I bother how completely and utterly pee'd off and annoyed with my van was I a few weeks bak.

Well it was "repaired" "rebuilt" whatever you want to call it???? But to say that is a small lie is an understatement. How it ever passed an MOT we are unsure. But hey.

I very nearly made it a small cube like alot of other MK1's, but after a very very good friend said he would fix it then its back on its way to being all in one piece again.

I'll let the pic's do the talking eek

As you can see the heaven's where saving this one big grin

Now thats a nice suspension cup!!!

So how to fix it?

Thats right take all the front off alot of the bulkhead and see whats left and if theres anything solid to start from

Ooops no floor Shocked
