You only need two tools in life: WD-40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't, use the duct tape.

Yeah was ohn eBay, really it comes down to what you want to pay for it. The van isn't worth £1500 but with the paint the interior do you think it's worth it?

The problem appears to be that most of you guys are thinking that an H plate Tranny cant be worth £1500, well.... Why Not? It looks to be in damn good condition and a good paint job like that would cost £800+, most of the work has already been done to make it a nice overnight camper :D

Go for it is what I say gordyshreds!!! If you like it and it looks and drives as well as it looks in the pictures then I would give £1500 for it, if I was in the market for one obviously..

Just think how much it would cost to buy one and start from scratch..

£500 for a white van that needs arches etc.
£800 for the superb paint job.
£250 at least for the I.C.E

Then add on top of that all the wood etc and the time to do it all and whatever it takes to get said van through an M.O.T.

So personally speaking it looks to be a bargain to me :D :D

na it wasn't worth it in the end.I'm really hands on so think buying a stock van and getting busy myself will suit me well.
