keep throwing out these low numbers, it will help us all in the end!

I have my number that will hopefully entice the potential seller to sell it to me that i think is fair, so hopefully that is enough.

I'm posting this over in my main wheel thread. But just so you all know:

Looks like my van will eventually be eventually auctioned off here:

(notice it is listed as RWD; which means they're not explaining that is a Quigely 4x4. Dunno if that matters given we don't know how much is broken from the impact to the left rear hub bits against the concrete wall)

well, game on then! Really curious to see how much this goes for.

you guys want to bid on it and then part it out? I would be game for that I do not have space for it tho

We may have a CCV top available in the near future. One of our customers wants to swap out to ours. 4 of the 6 screens are trashed and the frame is pretty rusty from PNW storms water infiltration, but salvageable. I'd want to do a couple safety mods to it before I'd let anyone install it. I'll update when I have a solid date of arrival. It wouldn't be till late fall at earliest though, it's on a long summer trip currently.

Dai,

I'm too stressed trying to salvage my summer plans, buy a new van, keep up with my job, and all that to take the lead on this idea.

But one of my "plans in progress" involves buying a sprinter crew van 4x4 and going for a DIY build and/or at least camp through the summer before having a more formal build done this winter.

So if somebody takes this route I'd ask to buy back the kitchen galley -- I think its still in fairly good shape (a single crack in the wood top).

Depending on price and if I don't get the top I'm in talks with, I could be in on a group partnout. Seems like a tough task though. Long toe back to the west coast, but I do have a spot in the garage...just gotta trim a little off the top for it to fit.

And yes, galley is all yours! The next van for you will be even better, I'm sure of it.

I would take the heater becuase it looks like there is one in the back and propane if that's for grab. Let me know if you will get that I might have a friend who might be running her trailer your direction so she could possibly pick it up for reasonable price.
