How much time and money would be needed to rebuild it, if that is even possible?

Can you believe that there has been 57 bids on it? Got to be something fishy going on as surely there cannot be so many people after a pile of scrap!!!! The best bodyshop in the UK would not be able to get it back as a running van!!!!

They seem to be a part which on most Saffs have split with age so I think if you source a supply they will fly out, providing of course they are priced sensibly.

I tried with my helpful local parts guy and a member on here who can get his hands on nearly anything within ford Europe and neither could find any.
I passed up a set that was £100 as I felt the guy was being greedy.

Refurbed lattice alloys with new tyres...... Have a guess and see how close you were in price.

I have said it so many times before, all the time people keep paying such crazy high prices all its doing is encouraging greedy sellers to jump on the band wagon!! Why cant people sell the parts for sensible prices? What has happened that has made having a conscience a thing of the past?
