One thing to consider - I have parted out three Mercedes that I bought for major pieces I needed and I still have parts of all three left, and that was over 10 years ago!!!

Parting out any car is not a short term venture.

I understand the hesitation. The '85 I parted was a Transporter "panel" so I got at least one polite "why'd ya part it?" comment. But the advanced structural and other rust along with mechanical work required, really made it a border line case in terms of a resto project.

i wouldn't part out a rare or more desireable model like a westy or a transporter (ahem, neil! :) but a lowly GL seven passenger van - i have no qualms about putting those under the knife.. nobody really wants them anyway, sad to say. back when i had my "collection" i parted out quite a few GL passenger vans that were actually nice.. simply because they were worth more in parts than whole.

nobody will miss it and it will donate its parts to keep other westys on the road :) ----- No virus found in this message. Checked by AVG - www.avg.com Version: 10.0.1382 / Virus Database: 2441/5737 - Release Date: 04/10/13
