Default FAO Diesel owners.

I'm cleaning out my garage and I came across a used factory fit back box, I rescued it a few years ago and promptly forgot about it. The reason I rescued it was because it was solid bar for one small hole at the tailpipes, the rust had worked its way from outside in as the corroded area was larger on the outer skin. I've just had a pleasant hour or so repairing it, it's had the inch or so of rot cut out and I've rebuilt both skins to a high standard. I'll post some pictures when it's cooled off, if anyone is interested then let me know before I put it on Ebay.

Hi,

I'm interested as the outer skin on mine is pretty grotty.

Cheers.

Andy

Here's a pic, I'm going to give it a wire brushing and spray it with some zinc paint.

Sorry Andy, I did also send a PM saying I would take it soon after the original post came up, as mine is close to the end. I'm on the extended MOT at the minute, so this will give me a chance to replace before MOT due date.

Post a picture of your backbox for me please, I'm happy to have a look to see if I can repair others for members. I have the brand new one to get templates off and I'm willing to have a go at ones that can be saved.
