knew about the complete chassis as soon as they were offered
helped give me the balls to buy the 52.
but i think i can save the front and rear chassis sections and have a plan for the centre myself.
Biggest problem right now is finding a garage/unit so i can start the intense stuff
Any ideas? fancy sitting your bare metal van outside for the winter scott?
p.s. call ME, you cheap arse!
