Well finally got down to Melbourne to pick up the panel and drag it home. It was a slow trip coming home T4 doesn't like hills with a bloody heavy trailer and Panel on the back! I was considering ratting it but couldn't help myself I was inspecting for rust and the next thing you know........I'd started stripping it already!
Windows out two pinholes at base of window frames gave them a good stab with the screw driver seem solid. Doglegs perfect no rust at all? Front floor same perfect handbrake even works? Front cargo door has been replaced at some stage looks like it was left with out a door at some stage as this is where the rust is radiating from. Main floor will have to be replaced above engine though is good. Looks like it was Dove Blue then painted red for PMG then taken back to Dove Blue and white roof. More I pull apart better this thing is looking. Underneath one jack point has pulled away from frame but is still solid all the rest of frame is spot on just surface rust. Heaps of wasp nests under and in this thing though
