Its got a lot of rot in the drivers side a pillar area/gutter.
Nearside rear arch is very poor but the main bits are solid. Got lots of bits of my old pop to use as patches.

Thanks guys. Russ - still not decided on build style yet so began stripping bits off it today. Bit more rotten than it first looked but the main Van section is fairly solid. Probably been stood 40 years, and the barn had collapsed around it.  Luckily i didnt want a volvo.  |

Decided to chop out the rot.  And replace with a good section of pop.  Looking better already.  Ooops spoke too soon.  |
