cheers lloydie, he`s not communicating today anyway. mike should be on soon to fill in

Cheers Lloydie doesnt sound brilliant but i still wouldnt mind seeing it for myself, not expecting to get a particularily clean van for that kind of money. Basically just need to see if its worth repairing or completely @*$%#&.

@*$%#&.

interesting turn of phrase there mike..

you knew what it meant tho lol

I think it's rescue-able at the right price, I offered 3K which i think he was a bit offended by,.... but he didn't seem to want to negotiate.....told me i wanted something cheap which he didn't think his van was.......then drove off!

My quest staggers on.....

Did you drive it? Hows the syncro stuff? And engine?

From the Photos its doesnt look high enough to be a syncro.

standard 185 tyres, don't forget a lot of what you see pics of on here/you tube etc... have been lifted and are running bigger tyre combos, and a lot of pics are of 16" vans
but rear springs are quite likely to be missing pigtails

I didnt realise that they are jacked up! I thought it was standard.

I've tried several times to contact this guy and he doesn't respond to his emails or phone messages. Maybe because I'm asking questions he doesn't know the answer to.

Maybe he finds your name a bit disconcerting!.....
He knew nothing about it other than it was a syncro....and was worth 5K.

Cooper : didn't drive it so couldn't check the syncro gear. he told me he was advised by the previous owner not to touch the diff locks.......engine was lumpy- maybe injectors or pump/timing.

Been trying to contact the guy as well by phone/email/text got no answer and no replies to messages left either. dont think he really wants to sell it

Have also spotted a few vans on german ebay

Why do people get caught up on on RHD? It's only really important when overtaking and lets face it most of us are lucky to keep up with traffic let alone PASS it!!

That's not really true, but I will let it lie!
