Im up to £1500 profit selling bits from a pretty shitty panel van that I paid £850 for, it aint quick but you've got some nice high price bits on there, or buy a new lower spec van and swap your gucci bits onto it.

get a 2nd hand gearbox & drop it in it, not hard to do, even a novice could do it in a weekend with some machine mart spline drive bits & taking you time, then its a driver
whats the MOT fails, most stuff can be fixed cheap as chips

the van drives but the gearbox in it is borrowed from a mate, my gear box needs repairing so i wll give him back his gear box and let the van go with my gear box
the off side sill needs welding and both steps i want to sell the van "as is" as i would like to see it on the road i will give it a week and then break, sell the parts and scrap whats left seem a shame to scrap when some one could make a nice van out of it the van is in newquay cornwall |

surely someone down there can do the welding for cheap, the panels needed are'nt going to cost the earth, & a good spare box can be got down there for sure!
get it done up MOT'd for run to the sun then sell it on then........JD sounds possibly too got to break! i think 2k is a lil steap for the van as is so breaking the van is possibly the only route its do it or die i spose i think ia little old fashioned self application is needed or spend a lil £ to get what it owes you or a lil profit back in the old backburner
