[QUOTE="bubba dubba, post: 601154, member: 12021"] Hi, I have seen this van when driving past it a few times,i very nearly stopped and asked if it was for sale a year or so back as it was up on ramps and didnt seem to move at all. I think from what you say it sounds like you can't really lose. I think though like others have said you will end up spending on it but if you can do it as and when you can afford and use as is for now. First job is to get an m.o.t test and see where you are (Im pretty sure it will need brakes looking at as it has been sat for a good while). Your biggest gamble is rust as expensive to fix properly and that could be hiding some as a Uk bus that been "restored" before will more than likely have some hidden......mechanicals are easier to sort. Hope that doesn't sound too pessimistic........If it was me i'd go for it. good luck........Kev [/QUOTE]
