    Cam and Neil have decided to sell the doka and want more than I want to pay etc. So the time has come for the doka to go and I am being really dithery about it. It's probably age and a yearning to get it back for myself. They have asked me to sell it for them as it stands, as a project with the standard 1600 lump and add all the bits we have accumulated for it to the sale. It owes us about £1700 atm and still needs a fair bit of work, although the sills, front panel, cab floor, arches, most outriggers and one battery tray is now solid. it still needs a battery tray on the offside and the load bed needs addressing, and the bottom floor panels need patching. So not for the faint hearted. Hence I want it off them for what I paid for it and they want all the money back ( even though I did the work thus far and have supplied quite a few bits ;)) Anyhow. we have decided it is in all our interests to just sell it and free up my garage for a project of my own!

    So what would you do if it was yours? Ebay it with all the hassle that comes with ebay or think of a price and offer it up on the forums.

    I will listen carefully to all suggestions and appreciate the input. Malc

    Sounds a bit unfair to you to be getting rid of it TBH. But anyway, I'd bung it on ebay as a classified and on the forums for £1850 to allow a little wiggle room and cover the cost :(

    I can understand it Dave.They are leaving uni next month and need as much money as they can get. I would want as much as I could get if it was mine tbh.

    Cut the back off completely, throw in a few sheets of corrugated ally and a couple of sheets of ply and sell it as a Karmann Gypsy kit :D

    If I was kindly gifted something by someone, who then went on to work on it for me for nothing and I did not want it, I'd gift it back - not outbid them and sell it to someone else :(

    Bang it on ebay now to test the water with a reserve, quick sales often mean a low price.

    Buy it off them, what else are you going to get for £1700,
    Finish it then decide,load bed isn't nearly as bad to do as you might think Malc :)

    They have paid the purchase price and bought some of the panels etc. I have only done the work and bought a few odds and ends like engine bar, tins,a few of the sill items and all the associated welding equipment! It could work out cheaper to let them sell it.

    I dunno about the future Dave, but I did park next to a rhd Westie day van last year and liked it very much.

    Can't you charge him an extortionate amount for storage and take that off the asking price? ;)
