Hi I've recently bought a swb y60 which had been parked in a field for the last 3-4 years! it's in a bad state but got it cheap and fancy a project.

The rear chassis is rotten real bad from the panard mount back. Sills are rotten,front wings are gone and rear arches are rotten also :lol

One pic after a quick wash

Door handle looks good thou. mate.lol,should keep you busy for a while.

rustygates.
 
You'll soon get the chassis welded up. Is it a 4.2 ?
 
Cheers guys yes it's the 4.2 went to look at another one for the chassis and spares so picking that up on Thursday :naughty going to get that chassis sandblasted at work then start rebuilding them into one good one.
 
Hi and welcome fellow Trol owner. If you need any advice during your rebuild this is the place to ask:thumb2

Hi cheers btw if your after a wing I know a place who can get decent patern wings from Germany for £145 each not bad considering there the only place I've found doing them.
 
Haha been thinking of stretching the wheelbase so it's mwb looks good if done right but a lot of work.

MWB :eek: you've been on Aus sites haven't you :lol
I wouldn't bother with the MWB, just cut it's arse off, that's what I'll be doing this summer :sly
 
Don't even bother chopping the chassis shorter or your asking for trouble from vosa etc.

If I had a trol I'd trayback it.
 
VOSA is no biggie when cutting the end off :thumb2
I like my inside space too much to tray back it.
Have you finished with the bender yet :augie
 
I can't see myself using it any time soon as plans may have changed, so you can borrow it if you like until I need it.
 
Fantastic :D I'll be round tomorrow :thumb2
Working in Tregarron. What time are you home ?
