Everything from chassis heave to seats not bolted thru heavy enuff panels leading to fatigue cracks , dodgy rust repairs to rotten floors.right now I'm doing a rubbish truck that got backed into by another one . Extensive frontal rush rush..... Ah well 34 hours left in the year

Don't get me started on transits and other euro campers,....

Got a transit here you think you can get fukn brake hoses for it pita

Brake hoses have to get them made. Ford doesnt even do them
