Jeez been a busy boy there Shaun. Good score. I see the van has a sun visor. Getting a decent spare wheel door for them is prolly one of the harder panels although that upper gate on the van looks like s challenge.

All the best with it all.

Looks like the old fella that originally had the bus left the tail-gate open and reversed into a tree. Real shame as it was rust free, always the way though, if it's not rusty its caved in!
Thanks Shaun

How did you go with the spare wheel door, did you get it open?
Thanks Oz EK , yes ll applied your method, spot on mate. The panel is defianteialy worth saving, l will concentrate on the ute first and leave the panel sitting in the corner for a rainy day. Cheers

Thanks Clay, the spare wheel door is decent as well, not sure whether the tailgate can be saved, l doubt it, but then again l don't think there would be two many floating around? Cheers

Hmmm, I think I'm way out of my depth on the Pano, anyone looking for one, owes me around $3,200 with replacement rust free rear gates. front floor and sub structure is rusted out, but I have the sedan to chop up which is good besides the pans. totally original with all standard running still in it. thanks Shaun 0427 638 910
