Heartbreaking
« on: April 06, 2010, 03:56:11 PM »
Got a hot tip on a beddy van that was recently left at the Denmark rubbish dump.....went along for a gander and found that it had a properly installed Ford disc brake front end and a ford high speed diff [ at least i think its a ford diff as the stud pattern on the wheels was ford].....what a shame.....its a 79 model and had also had a lift up rear door at some stage. Sadly all the frond end was completely rusted as were the diff housings and tubes......more photos here.....
