    That seam on the left looks suspect to me, it doesn't look neat

    Ah lovely, rust and filler.
    Does that jacking point behind the front wheel look a bit weird to anyone else, or is it just me?

    Trying to do the switch from a double unit full of finished and unfinished VW stuff, to one vehicle that works for us (you've heard it all before ... LHD/RHD, tintop/poptop, scarily mint/useable daily, blah blah!)
    Sellers are about to get this repaired and I'm in the unique position of getting to see it up close both before and after.
    The MOT history makes me think I'll find some not-so-fine work underneath, that would fail an MOT but going to have a mosey anyway.
    Keep my hand in as it were :)

    You absolutely know that the bottom six inches of that are as rotten as a pear all round.

    Anybody that has a pic up like this would find out that is enough to put buyers off if asking anywhere near market value / price . I also can’t believe they’ve taken a picture with the handbrake left on ;)

    Ozziedog,,,,,,,,door gaps don’t look too bad if you allow for the piccy angle :)

    That is indeed what I'm expecting having seen the MOT story ... Ramping up the effort to clear the decks here, so this is a kind of warm up act for looking at others once the readies are in place.

    Ah is this just in the unit you share and owned by someone else?

    Yes ... though not shared now, so ideally I can get half the space back to either share again or use it for the sculpture projects that are waiting on the finish of the house building work :confused:

    If that sill is the only problem 10+ years after a resto I'd be surprised, but if so it could be an ok bus?
