TBH Lewis there isn't going to be much usable bits left on it now I've stripped it for the van.

Removed 99% of the loom from it today for the van as well as most interior.

Think I'll drag it up onto my trailor and wiegh what ever is left in bud.

That's a shame bud, you going to put any side skirts on it before you sell?

I have seen sets on ebay for vans but have been tld they are crap and not worth buying. So I've got some RS ones and planning on cutting and stretching them but not to sure where I should chop and add the bit in
