Have any of you Syncro owners come across this van which is on ebay? Looks a bit rough and a costly project but may be worth saving?

Re: Ebay van, does anyone know anything about it?
I've seen worse for that price, it will most likely need all the mechanicals sorting like gearbox, VC, CV joints and most likely the engine sometime soon. So you can probably budget a 4k spend on it over the next few years. Then you'll have the bodywork to worry about
It would tempt me if I was looking for one
