i picked up a nova van a couple of weeks back, quite a bit of rust, its done 126k, 1.5 diesel engine runs sound. but i got it for next to nothing so i thought i'd take a punt. done about 600 miles in it over the last 3 weeks and other than the horn falling off and running out of fuel due to a dodgy fuel gauge it's been great.
however..
dropped it round to the garage i use at work this morning for a service,
about half an hour later they bought it back round to me after they realised how bad the rust is on the front cut a long story short, he said there's no point servicing it as the chassis is so far gone. 'dangerous' is one of the words he used.
now i know nobody likes a 'whats it worth' thread, but whats the best thing to do with it?
it's got solid doors and wings as they came of an sri, its got a gsi steering wheel. and its a van, which is pretty fooking rare...
