at 1/3 of the price of the blue one it might be what your looking for.
Are you looking for something complete or something you can personalize and make your own?

[N.Berenyi]

I've been told I should go for something complete as it is my first van and I am young.
So at the moment IU'm looking for vans that are easy and cheap to get on the road.

Thanks though.

hey nick, i paid $900 for my van back in the early 90s, and it was a good stepping  stone. I had to spend about $2000 to get it regoed and on the road, but it was worth it once i started driving around in it. Back in the day when i had both legs, i was all over the van like white on rye, learning how to work on it myself. Now that i am in a wheelchair i have to rely on the trades to do the work, but i can tell you now, with only one eye, that eye scrutinises everything. As you will see, i have now got the van back to a shell, and i am doing a complete custom and modern van, with all the latest gear and technology. If you can get that van for $900, go for it, and then teach yourself how to do things on it, they are a good vehicle to cut your teeth on, and as i have found, although i have had my van since about 96, what i still dont know, the guys on here are a workshop manual in themselves. Let me just say, in my case hands on is the best teacher, even now i sit in my chair and when the van is on the hoist, i am there underneath with the mechanic getting my hands dirty, only death will stop me from being part of the new build. I now know every little bit of my van, and it is not over yet. lol  Good luck on whatever you choose, and like me you will be one very happy little vegemite.

LOL George...I just had an image of you loaded up with all the spanners and parts on ya lap like a self powered tool trolley shuttling around the workshop.   Onya buddy

[mezzmo]
