The van, well I've got about $1500 in it so it would take at least that to buy it. I think I'll throw it up on eBay and watch it exceed my expectations. You'll never find a solid panel w/ a 6.2 Detroit Diesel, factory 4 speed manual, front & rear A/C and power options like this one.
engatwork ~ will do
diametricalbenz ~ There's other stuff causing stress, this little Benz will just be a casualty of it. Just too much going on and I've realized how much these old Benz' can get on my nerves.
It will need restored, to what level depends on your desire. It's all there and would be driver for someone within a few hours I'm sure. I'm a perfectionist so it would be months until I'd call it acceptable. I spent a few hours on my Rover yesterday afternoon and it was pleasurable. Yep, I've lost it  |
Of course I like Rovers
I'm had 4 of them. If you look at my youtube account you can see a few of them including the one I kind of went crazy with...
After I got it running right...
96 discovery FIXED! - YouTube
Running open headers...
rover_open_header - YouTube
Basically, I took that white rover, which had been abandoned at a walmart for 8 months, and totally rebuilt it. New suspension , Custom headers, Custom flowmaster exhaust, new headliner, new computer, new injectors new valley pan gasket, new brakes, AC and on and on and on... I actually might be buying it back soon. (The original owner like it so much when I was done he gave me his 99 E320 Wagon for it.) But he wants my 85 300D so I might swap him back. The head gasket has started to leak on it now, so I'll have to fix that, it's a weekend project that almost a requirement on all the rover engines at some point.
It's because of the rovers I got into MB's... I was thinking of putting a 617 into a rover and bought a couple MB to play with. Now, I own 4 MB's and no rovers... LOL!
1500 sounds fair for the van, any way to get some pictures or video of it?
