New guy

Just adopted a 1997 Maverick and am bringing her back to full roadworthiness.

Struggling with floorpan corrosion and dodgy wings at the moment, but determined to put my 4 x 4 on the road.

Hope to have a good read on here.
Any sources for wings and floorpans?
If not, it's Mig time
:-)

Just the principle is all

Mine was like a tea bag and needed much welding by my best mate. We cut big chunks off the donor truck up the scrappy and then trimmed to suit on mine

Worked for my flintstones wonder

Broody little hitlers, we always annoy the life guards

Ever since the RNLI took over the beach has been a poorer place
