What's the cost of a box rebuild these days (best case scenario)? Er, and the worst too.

Well seeing as this relatively dent free doka is at £3k

Then the relatively untouched spawn of projekt zwo at €9k is about right.
(€9k is about £3k isn't it?)

Asking price doesn't necessarily relate to a realistic selling price !! 3k for a tatty doka, no mot and no engine !!! No mention of trans function (vc /difflocks etc.)

If it was white I would be forced to buy it. The inevitable divorce would be painful, but worth it

I know. I'd pay a grand just to get the Vindik and the rev counter, plus my van does have a front diff but it was fitted way aftermarket and I don't have the selector.
May fire an email off...

Makes the Irish one look a bargain!!

Perhaps you could swap gearboxes?
Was thinking the same Lloydy, surely its only parts value, £1000 maybe £1200.
They keep coming out of the woodwork though, don't they.
