Looks fine to me. Plenty of momentum to get through the water.

It got through - did it stay running, though?

I have a hankering for one of those. Helped a mate do one up about 20 years
ago and we all went camping in it. Him, his wife, me, my wife, and his
three kids. Bloody great fun. We often talked about a Porshe conversion for
it... but when you're camping you're not really in a hurry.

I have been helping a freind to get one through an MOT recently.

All I would say, based on your post is this....They are 20 years older
now.

Mechanical stuff can be fixed or replaced but the rust is a nightmare,
if you do get one, take a magnet with you to help identify how much of
the original body is left.

They are cool though.

Kurt.

The youngest bay window you will find is now 27 years old, stopped making
them in 1979 in Germany, can still get new from Brazil.

I had one upto last November, and even though it looked great and went
through last 3 MOT's with nothing being done, it's only a matter of time...
Now got a 1990 T3 (T25) High Top, so a bit younger.
