I have to second this, even though myself and others said it already a few
weeks ago. Rust and even rust-through on body panels is one thing- this kind
of damage in the frame and suspension etc. is something else. You're gonna
kill somebody with this thing. Get one with a usable body and part this one
into it. Please.

Cya,
Robert

Forget the MOT, think about your own safety and sanity.  Jens, as much as I
admire your courage, PLEASE just walk away from that rust pit!  There must
be another Vanagon in Europe with a decent body and a toasted motor. I'm
sure we'd all be much happier to work through  the van with you if you were
going to end up with something really nice!

Seeya, Jake
