DG to AGG
Converting from DG to AGG. Have this diesel (1Y) donor van available for parts. But seller wants £800. What parts would I need from it? Approx how much more/less would it cost in total to buy these parts separately? Should I buy it or not at that price? Its a very rusty '88 panel van with no MOT.

Re: DG to AGG
If its a diesel van with 1y in complete, £800 is a steal, buy it

Re: DG to AGG
agreed and you will have loads of stuff to sell on when done, its suprising how many small and odd bits you need when converting

Whs^
Parts alone are going for near that when you tot up EVERYTHING you need,
.
Trailing arms are £100-125 each if solid. Tailgates are strong money now-seen mint ones sell for 200+. Etc etc
Good 1Y is £200 if you sell it on.
Also by buying a complete van you also save a fortune on postage if you shopped around for bits.
Postage on engine bars, Ali arms and bellhousing are going to be £12 each by courier if you bought them so easy to rinse £60 plus on postage fees buying separately.
Does it have PAS, decent clocks, opening quarters.
She'll will give you £100 if you fancy annoying people

Re: DG to AGG
Ok so the diesel might be a KY (1.7) not a 1Y.
Is this still a good thing?
Can I use its parts just the same?
