  1. Just bought this as a bit of a light project:-

  2. It comes with a Devon unit:-

    & a pop top:-

  3. I intend to sell on the pop top & the unit.

    Unfortunately the head gasket has gone:-

  4. I ordered the gasket kit, head gasket & exhaust manifold parts, the head gasket is on back order & I didn't realise I needed 4 exhaust manifold gaskets so I need another 3 now,
    The head is now completely stripped but I can't get one bolt out its sized solid & we snapped the spline drive trying to shift it. Once I get it out I'll have it skimmed & put it back on.

    I plan on getting the van running, serviced, welded & mot'd in that order.
    After that I'll tax it shot blast off all the rust, weld up any holes seal it all & then just paint the damaged areas.
    Hopefully I can then sell the van on as a good usable vehicle that the new owner can respray if they want to. :)
     
  5. That looks like another good project. I love the cabinet. What color are you going for on this one?
