the body is tidy and solid but does have a few dents and small rust scabs but for its age ect its shocking that it looks this good, i was very tempted to do the bodywork and paint it ect but i have a mk2 xr2 now and dont really care about anything else lol
i know what your saying about the shape but mk5 and 6 vans in good shape are not that easy to find, i did have one a couple of years back that was almost mint body wise but i had to pay good money for it
