You will make a lot more money back stripping it for parts.

Weigh in as it is, you might get £150. Strip it for parts and you can easily double that. If the engine and box are good, you should get at least £200 for them alone

Looks far too good to scrap, someone here would to have a go at saving this van. John L.

[matthew2riches]

Don't you dare scrap it

Body work is ok as far as Tranny's go, would make a lovely day van project The worst it could need is a new floor and some work on the box sections, surely?

[GBBiker]

If I had the space, time and money I'd buy it. Best of luck bud

it needs the rear crossmember welded right across, bit of welding by 1 sill, about a 3cm by 4cm hole in the floor under the ply floor, and a bit under the bonnet where the passinger side spring mounts too opposite side to the battery tray , and mite need a few other small bits, the worst part iv been told is the rear crossmember.

That sound like the normal transit welding list

if you look at http://fordtransit.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=24006&start=30

you will see your van only needs minor welding

And don't be glum you see how much welding I've got ahead of me before mot in April
