The Van is located in the Clovelly in Sydney.

I expressed my keen interest in acquiring this van - BASED ON THE PHOTO'S above...
The photo's must have been taken at least 10 years ago :o :o :o
I had a look at the van tonight and it is VERY RUSTY, it looks like it could be TERMINAL - the rust is extensive.
I have already expressed my keen interest in the van but now that I have seen what it REALLY looks like
I think I will contact the owner and tell him that I am no longer interested, I couldn't take on a project
like that - far too much rust and far too much work needed to get it back on the road.
Anyone thinking about this van - it is definitely not roadworthy and it needs a lot of work to get it roadworthy.
It has extensive rust in the gutters, windscreen, front doors, rear barn doors, door handles, around the wheel arches etc.
I didn't look inside but due to the pop top roof, I am concerned that the roof and interior could also be water and rust effected.
Sorry I couldn't get any pictures I didn't have the camera with me.
While the van may be FREE to a good home, be mindful that it is on the doorstep of "beddy heaven".
Cheers
