We all new Westy had a little rust, but when we had a new engine fitted in 2008, I was told the chassis was sound....

But may need looking at soonish..!

She'll be great when finished, she didnt look bad before hand though till you started chopping bits away. Keep up the good work!

It is inspiring to me when l see pictures like these. My bus isn't too bad though it does need a battery tray but l feel the rear valance isn't for this world much longer. When l find the holes I'll thank you all for helping me through it.
