Hello everybody .
New on this Forum , i'm mooking forward to buy a Traveller ( a good one!) Everybody tells me to carefully look on the underside of the car especially for bad patches , bodged sills ,etc....
Does anyone could send me some pictures of very good or nicely redone underside ( sills , spring hangers , etc...) and pictures of bodged one ...
Thank's for all
Very glad to be here

You won't learn much just by looking at the chassis.
You need to tap it lightly with a small hammer and poke it with a small screwdriver.
Many sellers do not like you doing this however. Especially if their chassis is full of rust. Best to walk away in this case.

Never she has cost me too much, it would never be worth selling her, i'd never get my money back. Plus, i've spend so long buildering her i want to enjoy her!!
