How would you guys do this one?

Postby Andy the Gasman » Thu May 15, 2008 6:46 pm

I got the van Mot'ed last week, been given an advisory on the rear spring hangers and floor for next year so getting her through another mot could be costly, I want to make the minibus a diesel so i was going to use the mk4 as a donor, but it seems silly to scrap a van with 11 months mot on it. What do you guys think sell it and look for a van with short mot/tax and use that or use the mk4 as a donor? Really she has given me 3 years good service and i've developed a soft spot for the old girl. Or do i say sod you mrs Andy clean her out tax her for six months and do a full on booze cruise in her before she gets stripped

What do you think a 94 transit 100 is worth with no tax but 11 months mot?

Or does anyone know of a short life transit coming up in the next 6-8 weeks reasonably near me?
