It looks like it's been varnished to death.
Piss easy to fit a new frame though. Ed China did it in an hour long episode.

Reviews make a big thing about the condition of the woodwork, but to me that's the least significant thing. Replacement wood is readily available, not terribly expensive and looks pretty straightforward job to replace.

Was due to be destroyed in a film so they sent the logbook off as scrapped but the stunt never happened. Anybody got any recent experience of getting a cod reversed?
I could always Q plate it I guess

Have a scroll back through Squire's fleet thread. he did a lot to the wood on his so I'm sure it'll give you a decent idea how much is involved with it.

Ring it onto an A Series Tranny book, free tax too. Seriously though , there must be a few rotted out Econoline campers about for a logbook after the engines been snaffled.

I love these, taught my oldest how to do donuts in one of these on Daytona Beach, when she was 15- got a right bollocking of a Copper in a Jeep. Let me off a ticket because British troops served with him in Kuwait!
