It may sound environmentally unfriendly, but I would burn the plastic off in a cool fire, wire-brush or rust treat it and then get it powder-coated. Or if I was totally honest, I'd be asking, "do I really need to have everything in a basket?' Plenty of things go in home fridges and freezers not in a basket.  

There us a plethora of wire basket manufacturers who will, for  a price, make you a new one.

Costly but may be a better option.

not to channel 4wd 24/7...

but could you raptor coat it... with a Raptor can I mean...

like.. get a (soft ish) wire wheel for your drill and clean the loose plastic off it.

then Raptor it.

You used to be able to get "plastic spray" to cover stuff like that. (I remember the ad where they sprayed a strainer basket, then were able to hold water in it!)

That may work, but don't know if you can still get it, or where

Have a look around for a place that does plastic dipping. They could probably remove (melt) the old coating off and replace it.

Forward fold, as in composite body and canvas roof/walls?

Check the storage available. My mate had a forward folding Opus and the internal storage was dismal.

Quite liked this concert. He's still got it. Can't believe he is 80. 
Seeing Dave's daughter join him on stage was a special treat.

Our Evakool has lasted for many years. At least 15 years from memory.  A damn fine fridge.
Don't really want to get rid of it as it is still showing no signs of needing retirement.
The basket however has now seen better days.

Tried to wire brush the plastic off it so I could paint it, but wasn't real successful. Some just won't come off.

Now considering getting it sandblasted or maybe bead blasted?
Or will that be too extreme?

Anyone got any tips for getting that old plastic coating off?

Have looked around for new baskets and finding a basket the right size is proving difficult

Same here, if only to poke on EVs.

Our Rhinomax Scorpion Hybrid has a composite body.
It's awesome, no more flapping canvass.
