Love to buy it, but can't spare 5 years of my life.
Busben, next project for you, you love things like that! Lol

To new
it would be a hard job for few years, that's for sure, still very tempted.
But really what you getting is a chassi number.
On another hand you can make an asking price in parts. By the way spoke with him yesterday and it is like an auction now, somebody is offering 10k already...

I say around a year to rebuild that depending on getting the panels needed.

Advert has gone now, not surprising at that money! That's if it sold for 7000 euro, if as said a bidding war is going on then who knows what was paid for it.

Not really, it's bad yes but it's not that hard to do.
11 window rebuild..
viewtopic.php?f=8&t=105730
All the panels you need can be ordered, it's easier then a standard split as you have windows all round and repair sections are made.
Full chassis's can be got easy and the roof (which is one of the hardest parts to find in good condition second hand) can be done easy as most second hand roofs have rot in the gutters but as you will be putting the window repair sections in this again makes it simple.
Looks like the bulkhead is still there and the rear support panel, plus the roof supports.
We could rebuild that no problem.
