After serving us well for the past three years the "riot van" has to go..it's showing the scars now!!
Might as well start with the bad bits..Mechanically it's good but the bodywork isn't!! Will need rear arches,cab steps,rear quarters??fuel filler surround,front valance,there's some bad rot round the windows,and the sliding door channel will need renewing as that's rotten all the way along!! and probably a new sliding door whilst your doing that as it's had a scrape and on the last day of using the van the mechanism imploded!! managed to get it shut but havn't dared try opening it since.It's hand painted matt black and the stickers have now started to come off..
This pic is the good side!!
1987 1.9 DG petrol,4 speed.
Done 45k on replacement exchange engine.
3k miles since last MOT.
Tax/MOT end of July.
There are some good bits(not on the outside though)
We bought it off an old guy that used it to go fishing in and he'd converted it from a panel van in 2001...

Rear brake rebuild
Full service
Did think about having the bodywork done but would've been paying someone else to do it and couldn't really do without a van for the four weeks it would've been in the bodyshop for,plus only had a budget of 2k which wouldn't have gone far so decided to get a new van!! If you can do your own bodywork/welding this would be a great project vehicle.
Price....not at all sure??
£695..ono
Which it probably would be worth in bits,but I haven't got the time/space/mechanical knowhow to do so. Will upload pics of the nasty bits tomorrow.
Will be sold (or towed away) with original steel wheels.
