im gonna have to take mine off to get it repaired before spraying due to a great big crack in the side of it when the motor refused to go down on one side.

Might be worth checking out how much one might cost from a breaker. They probably cant get rid of the shells so they can't be worth much

Crumbs

Last year i was offered a complete AFT for £150 from a bloke breaking a Bongo as long as I arranged pick up - they are apparently very heavy. I tried to get a pal to attempt to refit it on a VW but he didn't want to take it on - went for a Reimo instead.
I am sure that there was a previous thread posted by someone with an AFT who wanted to fit it to a Bongo tintop If he didn't go forward with the project he might sell it to you - - -
