This is true, the roof, rear quarters and rear doors are the hardest to find, the front end and floor can be missing and it wouldn't matter

Needs some work but doesn't matter as it appears straight and as said, it's a van.

Could be a lot worse, and once sand blasted and etch primed will be a cracking base to weld onto and start rebuilding.

Hope it all goes well and good luck with the build.

Looking forward to seeing progress pics.

Btw, when it's done, you won't wanna use it for work.

Will be too good and too valuable.

Deck it in duck egg blue on magnesium Minilites and lob a KAD engine in there.
