scrap or salvage advise ?

Postby bulldozerfish » Sun Feb 15, 2009 4:57 pm

hi everyone,
i have a m reg marone colour 2.5 swb bannana engine transit with the six stud axle(heavier duty) with side windows in that ive (and a mate with a welder)been trying to repair but after welding several bits on the framework we hit a rather bad looking patch on the front frame piece along side the front right hand wheel which i cant deal with so i have to admit defeat (we are just not experienced enough as welders), do you think i ought to sscrap or do you think its worth advertising for someone else to have a bash, i think its kind of worth it although i have ran out of cash,i.m in cornwall if any ones interested in having a look ,
what would be a fair price? it has 3 as new tyres, second hand good exhaust to fit ,2nd hand side and left rear door in good nic and generally the body is ok (its a real shame really )
any thought would be appreciated
or should i just fire it on flea bay

If it runs OK, and its not too expensive repair it, its worth more running than not. Someone will take it off you. You can always earn money with a van. J.L.
