I have aquired myself a new set of wheels and now NAV is no longer my daily runner.
My problem is should I just store him in the garage? or sell him to someone to enjoy? Now I won't be getting out of mini's if I do sell NAV as I still have my 850 project.
With a house purchase looming the extra $$ in the bank would definately be nice + only having to move one mini.

So what would you do in the same position?

All relationships do come to an end - BUT - if there is anyway you can store it then do store it. If only for the appreciating value.

I once sold all my minis and stuff in the belief that I had other priorities. Those other priorities passed in time and when I got back into minis again, it was a harder slog getting back to where I once was.

Just dont leave it in the backyard where grass can grow through it and rats and mice think its a palatial condo-mini-um

Without a doubt I would SELL.

Not a daily any more, you have a replacement, buying a house, need cash....

It all ads up.

If NAV's body is straight and relatively rust free, and you have the space I would store it. Unrestored vans are only going to get harded to come by.

What are the new wheels, just out of interest?

I have purchased a 91 Landcruiser. Don't worry it will go off road VERY off road. It's something I've always always wanted to do.

NAV was never really what I wanted. Vans are cool but the bastard 850 I have is what I really wanted. For those that don't know or forgot, NAV was given to me, just not in his present condition though. quite a few $$ spent on him over time.

I'm leaning toward letting someone else enjoy NAV.
