I don't think the Iltis was damaged. It was registered to the first owner and second owner on the same day, 97/12/08, third owner 99/10/19, forth owner 03/08/08, fifth owner05/07/04, then bought by the sixth owner after another couple of years. The body was in deplorable condition, but did not show signs of body damage repair. I wonder if it was written off as uneconomical repair and was shuffled from owner to owner as a rebuild project?
I got the Iltis with all the NOS body panels for the rebuild and the owner got an Iltis ready to safety from me. He had intended to restore it, but had no time or place to work on it and I did. With the NOS parts, especially the floor section, it makes a almost rust free body and is far more sound than patching in new steel bits here and there.
