Been offered a 66 saloon as a doner..
Smashed glass and rotten body..but has all mechanical items including a 1300 engine..
Once collected,an attempt to start will confirm the condition of the mechanicals..

Hi Matt,
I've been thinking, I need quite a few spares for this van, have you got a complete, approx.1972 Daf 33 Saloon which is not restorable, which you want to move on.It's mainly interior trim,door handles,rubber mats,wiring etc.I need, but I keep finding "bits" that need replacing. If you want to hold onto what you have I understand,I'll keep a lookout for one.
Tony.

Hi Matt,
Thanks for that, I'll keep my eyes open, something will appear. I'll look tomorrow and see what I need, I'll compile a list, but I'm sure I'll miss something.Will send PM.Do you know how many vans are in the UK? I found some pics. from way back in around 20?? and it looked pretty rotten,is it being restored? I have re-panelled one window opening and almost finished the other side, so it's almost back to how it left the factory. Still quite a bit of welding and fabricating to do, but will rub down infill panels,give a couple of coats of primer and then take out the engine, before starting bodywork in earnest.The doors need the bottoms rebuilding and several patches welding in areas of the body.The offside inner, upper wing support needs replacing,but as the wing top is badly corroded I'll cut out the bad section to allow access to the inner then weld in a new top section. All good fun!!..............Tony

Hi Tony..
It sounds like you have a few more days with the welder..good luck with it..
Will help with what ever I can supply,if any large items are needed then we will need to think about collection/delivery..
As for 33 vans..I think there are 2 more..plus a couple of pick ups..1 I know is a converted from a car..
Don't forget Pete has a 33 van..in blue..
