[mandrake1]

hi all bit of an intro . i live in the north east am retired and the owner of a avondale sport 5 berth 1997 ish vintage .the van came into my ownership as a trade sale from a dealer requiring some work , frankly a little more work than i first envisaged apart from the body being in good nick and the chassis i had to sort out a spongy floor in the door way ,in front of the sink cooker area not through damp . replace some interior pannels near the front window due to past damp ,luckily the basic frame was ok . a few other bits but i will go into all that later if anybody realy wants to know ,basicaly enjoyable work and not expensive at all .

any way glad to be on here and will be asking many questions and also be giving any help i can . thanks again graham
