Hi I just bought this Eriba PAN FAM on ebay a few weeks ago


I should have walked away from it I know. The optimist in me thought it wouldn't be too bad. There is a lot of rust on the outer frame.
It looks like a job as described in the Steve Bradfield videos mentioned on here a lot


Any advice would be appreciated. What should I do, see if I can sell it as a project for someone.
Get some sort of repair done to make the legs secure and use it next Summer?
I am a bit upset at myself for buying a lemon

I have loads of pics, but too new to post links yet

Thanks

Roy

Hi Roy



Probably the way forward is to have a professional take a look and give you an estimate of the cost of any remedial repairs. You can then take a view on the cost/benefit.

If you search the forum, particularly the section on Caravan Servicing and Repairs, you will find a number of companies that specialise in welding and chassis refurbishment. For instance, MPH in Congleton have a good reputation.

It rather depends where you live as to which is most suitable.

Good luck.

I have seen some beautiful restoration jobs. If you're feeling up to it, you could end up with a real treasure!

Given Randa's suggestion in the Devon thread, why not try these people, Historic Motorsports Link in Clyst St Mary.

Hi Roy
I hope you succeeded in resolving this. I too am now looking for someone to effect a small repair to puck chassis and I wonder if you have any luck with your search for same? If so please could you let me know?
Many thanks
