Today I decided to fix up the towbar wiring on me truck. Obviously this means scratching about underneath it for hours, giving me a 'good' opportunity to inspect for galloping tinworm. well, after taking out the load liner and having a proper look, here is what I found. load bay: Yes, thats the chassis member (plus a bit of road) under there! Rotten! Tailgate Sills - 'half-@rsed patches R us' Obv been parked near a golf course. The thing is fit for scrap. Not sure what to do with it, but its future looks pretty bleak, and probably involves a trip to Africa via French Ebay.

I thought it passed it MOT the other day? Or was I dreaming?
|
|
... the only injury I sustained was a bumped head when I let the seatbelt of without realizing the car was upside down and that's not really the car's fault.

No, you're not dreaming, it passed the MOT about 4 weeks ago! Must have rusted pretty quickly eh?

Having just caome back from Kenya, land of the 504 pickup, I can truthfully say that most of the manky old tat out there is in better shape than that!
Was very impressed with 30 year old trucks still in service despite the chassis sagging so badly it scraped down the road and trucks that take up both lanes of the road because thay are so bent in the middle!
It's actually quite refreshing to be somewhere where without all the rules we have, althought there are obvious safety implications!

I think it would be OK for someone who needed to carry large quantities of ping-pong balls.

it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts
|
|

|
|
Does it matter? Can't you replace it with a flatbed/stakeside, or aren't these 504s built on a separate chassis?

Unfortunately not, its a 'monocock'.
