Benny's "problem areas"...
Posted: Sat Jun 24, 2006 11:10 pm
Having just posted a couple of pictures in the "Introducing Benny" thread in the General Discussion section which made Benny look rather good!! - in fact a bit "too good".
I thought I'd better post some of the less flattering piccies - his bodywork is generally good - no visible rust - lots of new metal welded in in 1998, however there are a few woodwork problems:
the n/s waist rail needs new timber scarfed in:

the n/s rear wheel arch needs the lap joint fixing:

the rear doors need replacing (Ive got a replacment pair now):

the whole interior needs replacing:


(looks like the previous owner had a BBQ in the back seat...!

So there are a few jobs to keep me occupied!
Regards, Mike
