for £300 your in right stter land.

What sort do you want, bay window?, split screen?, type 25?, T4?

Deep pockets are required, a good level of welding and even deeper pockets than you forst thought!.

Ok, well I would suggest a type 25 then. A spilt screen thats fully sorted with be £13K at least, a decent Bay Window will be £7K and a Type 25 would be about £4k for a good one.

You can spend a lot less than that though, might be an idea if you love welding and I mean really love it!.

They're not cheap. Are you looking for one thats ready to roll and fully sorted or are you after a 'project'?

by project are you now thinking of the bits of rust that someone else has chopped out of a camper to throw away...?

Think you're in for a long search Jack, though on the plus side you'll be able to save while you look...

im off to go look at a bay tomorrow in some..... scrap yard ohh joy

[Davi]

don't knock it, that's where my first 3 VW's came from! Takes a lot more work but if that's your budget, that's your limitation!

[jackbroadbent]

my auntie knows the guy who owns the scrap yard really well so i might get it cheap

[Davi]

bonus - should give you some cash for replacement panels and a welder!

[jackbroadbent]

i drove past it today and it looks fine but .....

1: its in a scrap yard
2: its german
3: looks can be deceptive

It will be rotten. If it looks badly rotten, it'll be more rotten than it looks. If it looks mildly rotten, it'll just be very rotten. If it looks solid and rot free it'll be rotten but under a ton of bodyfiller that you'll have to scrape out first to repair the rot.

It's a VW camper, there is no other type for less than a few £k
