Guten tag....Selling advice for a pile of poop

  1. Good day , been a while, hope you are all still frantically welding and performing repairs.
    I'm not.

    What's the best way to get rid of a van that needs fixing up nowadays?

    Currently immobile. Was partially restored by that David bloke of Hayling parish.

    New engine, new beam (not fitted)
    4 genuine hubcaps and a tank of 8yr old petrol. A rusty lee bed. Probably a rats nest.
    Good aerial.
    Viking roof.

    Needs more bodywork.

    Is that classed as a viable project that some idiot would buy?
    Stick it on eBay for 50p?
    Or just scrap it?

    What do you experts think?
     
  2. Lol. Is it still "resting" at the end of the garden?

    I believe this is the that guerrilla marketing technique in the wild.


    It’s left me wondering why it’s not spelt gorilla.
     
  19. Interesting !
    I watched a television documentary about Cadbury in which they used a gorilla to win back confidence in their chocolate bars after the salmonella scare,
    I believe a gorilla could possibly help sell a van at the bottom of someone’s garden :)
