oh my god what an utter heap!

that ain't worth anything, infact looking at it I'd say that not one part of that shell is any use, plus the floor will be gone also despite the claim. Be cheaper just starting from scratch.

I`ve driven worse


Fatgadget - 12/5/08 at 04:19 PM

About a year or so ago there was a thread doing the rounds-I cant recall which forum-About these Thai guys restoring a rotten as a pear VW splity pick-up using only hand tools. The end result was amazing.


Humbug - 12/5/08 at 04:59 PM

a bit of papier mache should do the trick... can't be any weaker than what's left of the body at the moment


martyn_16v - 12/5/08 at 07:21 PM

has it been pulled out of a lake?


Danozeman - 12/5/08 at 08:13 PM

Build in a shack with bare feet and some metal sheets. The finished van was superb!!

It's a split screen camper.

Do you know how much these are worth????

£4k is good going, even in that nick.

Triton - 12/5/08 at 10:10 PM

That would fetch daft money down here...how does 4k for a 15yr old knackered T4 grab you?...but they do!!


ragindave - 12/5/08 at 11:20 PM

The number plate is probably worth 4 grand on its own!!!


Simon - 13/5/08 at 12:05 AM

We had the Safari version of that when we lived in Kenya

Opening windcreens, long sunroof (me and my brothers stood with our heads out of the roof, more or less from Nairobi to Mombassa!

I know someone who's modifying a split van at the mo, which started off in a similar condition!

It's bizarre really, why would people pay so much money for something that can barely pull itself along, has evil handling, next to no brakes and no crash worthiness whatsoever? Fashion....
