thats the magic number... my bro bought a totally rust free HZ v8 van and used it as a surf hack and dingy towing pig for only 6 years. hey presto and its now up for a full rebuild. gutters, side seams are perfect but firewall, windscreen, lower rear 1/4's, beaver, floors required extensive work. getting painted in Jasmine any day now!
