hi Pete I will probably keep it original I will no more so once it's finished in paint. I can't wait to start welding it to be honest. Just got to save up for the panels now lol cheers TomHa, what is the plan for it, I am the right age to remember ones like this as a daily driver van earning it's keep, as much as I love a tuck and poke and a hayabusa lump up front and one in the back for ******* and giggles I think it would be nice to preserve it's awful interior and BL era style?

Started stripping yesterday I've been lucky so far with screws coming out and bolts undoing but there is a few that will need drilling out. As expected. Hoping to get it pushed in garage once my mini finished and out the way. So I can start chopping and welding.

I saw this on eBay. Looks like you've saved it from certain doom. Good work.
