I’ve had the thoughts of leaving my mini project and dealing with minis in a year or two when hopefully time and money won’t hinder progress.
I’m just wondering, how much are vans are worth these days? More specifically this one! As it is now, and if it was finished and passed rego a check?
Currently it has an 1100 that appears to run fine.
90% of the car was taken to bare metal.
Due to working outside, it had to be painted fast – so it has some coats of acrylic on it and some clear.
It is a mini, and it did have rust. This has been cut, plated and migged - safe, sound and fine for rego - but nowhere near concourse!
The body has some bog in two spots, below the right side tail light (photo) and infront of the drivers wheel arch. These bits need a good sand and then prime / paint.
The doors are painted with no clear, need some little dints filled and then paint. These were not stripped and should have been.
I have sanded and polished one spot on the roof and it came up alright – this paintjob was to last a couple of years and then fully restore the car. But, a few hours sanding, maybe some more clear and then buffing and it would look good.
The car is complete, just needs to be finished and put back together. It had a rear seat fitted but the previous owner threw it out
. It was registered as a wagon with the seat. I have a pajero seat that will fit well.
I want to hear that as is it’s not worth much, and to keep it and fix it. But at the same time I need a presentable car for work asap (I was going to get sign writing etc on the van). So that’s about it, I’m finding it hard to spend the time to get it looking good and due to work it has to look good or don’t bother. I’m thinking of getting a late 90’s Magna.
So what’s it worth as it, and what’s it worth on the road without rego? It’s not for sale, I don’t want to sell it, but it may be depending. Thanks, Tom.
