hi all, bought a 1985 lwb twin axle mk2 2 litre pinto in march, its a great runner and no mechanical probs but on closer investigation is very rusty on bodywork and the old girl has received some interesting (i.e. rubbish) filler jobs. I am ideally in the market for two rear doors and any advice on how to repair rust holes on the sill at the rear. I bought her from ebay and was so excited to see the exact van I was after as I have a wife and 2 kids and this one has been converted to a crew cab. Some would say I was blinded by the excitement, but truth be told would have bought her in far worse condition as mechanically she is a gem. I'll upload pics at some point too and show how renovation goes.
