Bongo Fury

Having just had the van returned from a friend who was unfortunately unable to repair the engine following a major overheating problem, i am left with the problem of getting rid of the van, do I;

A. Try and break the van for spares.
B. attempt to source and fit an engine (unlikely as i have little experiance or facilities)
C. Try and sell the van minus a running engine to someone willing to undertake the van as a project, or sell the vehicle to a private breaker(does anyone no anybody)

BONGOBIKER,
source an engine and then find someone to fit it but breaking for parts would bing in more cash than selling to a breakers.
Good luck in what you do.

Ideally i'm wanting to get rid of the van with minimum fuss, i decided some weeks ago that a proper van would suit my needs rather than the bongo, but the motor cooked before i had chance to sell it, now im stuck with two vans, i'm not really sure what the going rate is for selling the van to a breakers?

About a nifty to breakers, Bang on somewhere spare's or repair's.

perhaps someone on site may make you an offer

Sorry dont quite follow??

Does nifty mean fifty in rhyming slang

Yeah, If you offer it to a breaker they will start at £50,

Certainly worth trying it in the 'For Sale' section. Depending on the condition of the rest of the vehicle, if the price is attractive it might really interest someone.

Good luck with your plans - sorry you are leaving the world of Bongo

Anybody want to go halves on it? If the price was ok.

you could try here http://www.mdklmotors.com dont know anything about them,but on page seven in their ebay shop they got bongo lumps,good luck..

BONGOBIKER there is a engine on ebay for sale with 6 months garantee for i think £800 ish


if you join rac and tell them you broke down they will take you to a destination so if you arrange with the breaker you could get bongo taken there?





you've been bongod

Having just washed and hoovered the old girl, i'm surprised at how clean and tidy she still looks, its really pulling on the heart strings to send her to the breakers.

Its a shame i just don't have time, expertise or inclination to fix it myself

I'l probably try the for sale section or put it on ebay warts and all and just see what it gets before i send it to bongo heaven.

You wont have any problems selling it, pity your not closer to me or I would buy it or go halves with someone...
