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.

If its a diesel van with 1y in complete, £800 is a steal, buy it

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

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

Ok thanks guys

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?

Yes you can. All the bits you need will be there.

Many in earlier post the shell is worth £100 in scrap , damn autocorrect

Great, thanks
