more

man. you are going to be doing something with these, arent you? put em in a shed and get it goin.... dont just taunt me with the pics.

Are any of the mechanicals seized. They dont look like they have mooved for a looong time.

last week a mission to move them was aborted after the wheels wouldnt roll, will need to sort out the brakes hopefully this weekend. will post some pics of the progress.
may hav found a good home with a nice bed for the panel already...:P

Ya gotta wonder why they would leave them out in the open. if they are not using them why wouldn't you just sell it when your finished with it and get some money for it before it deteriorates to that sort of condition?
At least some of the parts off these will help get some others back on the road!
Rob...

mate ya get them oldies that just wont let them go even though they dont use them or whateva just because they like looking at them or ya get the one's that rememis over all the old times in them!!
cheers

Your right! Its hard to understand why they do that. I have come across it myself, and both times the vehicals ended up at the tip!
Rob..

understand the parts bit re the panel. but look at this and then b sure

He He
Never say die!..:thumb:thumb:thumb
Rob...

You should have seen my panel before the resto was started...that one is perfect :thumb

i was all up for that panel being the ultimate rat looker, but yes, sadly it is too far gone. but at least it will go into rebuilding the '55, a bus my friend james once owned that has been passed on to rhys.
it is a sad story with both these buses, and the 1 owner '67 bug (with full service history to 1982 still in the glovebox) and the other spare '67 sitting not far away, one day they stopped starting, and the owners just left them where they stopped, didnt even try really to fix the problem. and left them right next to empty sheds too!!! and this is 20 years on, they r still having trouble parting with all this stuff. its a shame really because all these cars were in great condition wen parked, registered and everything.
funny, they refer to the 'blue' one, took me a while to realise wat they were talkign about (the panel used to be blue, i couldnt tell)

id gladly attack the panel, spend a month or 2 fixin the critical rust the\n drive the fuck out of it ....... slammed ofcourse.....

mate. i havent seen the pics of the rusty bits yet. although i can believe you, but it just looks so damn restorable from the pics you have posted. please show me some of the dead bits. you sure we cant rat this and save it. i know of another splitty that is up my way taht is only for parts and would gladly swap it.

forgot to ask same what are things like the front and rear bumpers like are they there?
cheers

What is happening with the 11 window? Looks like it has some parts I need
Nicko

the 11 window will be stripped for parts, ive had some requests so let me know wat u need, or i will sell the whole car if someone will take it...

What year is the 11 window sam.
Looks to be around the 60 to 62 model.
It still has the small rear lights

yes i was told by the owners its a 60 model

Lets see sum pics of the rust in the panel.... wana see how bad it is, not that i dont believe you, but with a little imagination, and welder nothing is impossible (says the fool before he see's the rust pics)

dude trust me, id LOVE to drive this thing around, but yeah, soon u will hav to talk to rhys about it...
