Hello,
I have a 1981 mini van. Body in bad condition. Front end good condition. Needs new floor etc. Back rear quater panels had glass installed badly and rusted to bits. What can I do. I understand that rear quater panels are not available. Is it possible to cut the panels out and turn it into a pick up. Any one any good ideas.
regards
Liam

Liam,
There's a very rough van dumped near me. I'll check what the quarter panels are like. The van is basically scrap and is there for the taking. I've been offered it myself but it's too far gone.
Give me a day or two and I'll get back to you.
Also, if you look at the Gallery on this website's homepage, you will see a van rescued somewhere. I don't know who owns it but perhaps they might reply to your post.

Liam,
I've been told who to talk to about the van near me. I hope to have an answer soon. I reckon it can be had for nothing and the sections where the windows have been cut out in yours on fine on this one.
Also the rear van floor is very good.
Call me at 087-4195640 if you want to talk more or if you want to come see this one.
