2001 E-350 Econoline w rusted frame - scrap it?
5 Attachment(s)
Hello,
I bought an E350 Econoline van with an Unicell body and I was planning to convert it into a motorhome. However, the mechanic just told me that the frame is so rusted that the car is unsafe to drive. He thinks I should cut my loses and not pour any more money into fixing the engine (who also needs work). I was wondering what are my options. Here's how the thing looks like underneath.

punt , it's toast

Absolutely, positively unsafe and useless. It's all fun and games til the steering box literally falls off ...
|
I agree with the others and your mechanic, it's spent.
|
The rust-through in front of the sway bar bracket is really telling. I'd agree with the mechanic, this isn't a van I would put any money into at all. Sounds like you got a raw deal. :(

Stick a fork in that one, it's done.
|
Thanks guys.
Ended by scrapping it. Found out from the locals that the car was parked by the ocean for a long time. That was a rather expensive lesson. |
Feel bad for you man...that's a tough nut to swallow. Good luck finding another one that's hopefully in better condition.
