Sorry about that AlanN, but it was well past the finishing post....

[AlanN]

I have to agree, but would a can or two of filler help

[FredTransit]

Now that's bad! Was somebody using it as an ancor?

[madmark]

i hope it didnt have mint dash trim in it!

The part of the driver's seat you can see doesn't look too bad ...so maybe the interior has been saved!

[madmark]

its the dash trim like the tops of the dash and the wood efect panels ,took me a yr too find mine and they are handy for my conversions!

[MRspivvy]

That's the roughest mk1 I've ever seen. I'm guessing its been parked in a field for some time?

[tranorak]

Correct, it had been parked in a field for years At the time (3 or 4 years ago) I had no idea how rare certain bits were, and didn't value tan colour seats so didn't save them. They were good nick but my project needed black ones
The van had had money spent on it just before it came off the road, lots of new panels had been fitted, only by pop-rivets luckily so i easily chiselled off a pair of front wings & rear corners & all gen ford panels too, plus a perfect Mk2 drivers door and a perfect rust free Mk1 tailgate with chrome catch. I had no storage and the tailgate got driven over by a Forklift accidentally on purpose i still wake up at night remembering that one
The dash trim found a home though
Diff death is what killed this van, the bust one was removed from the axle and a brand new one was there ready to fit.... but it had been under the drippy bit of roof and was F***ed

& if you think thats rusty wait till you see my Diesel Mk1 panel van

[FredTransit]

May that be a warning to us all!!
