Thinking of bringing in a dead van for parts, preferably minus
engine, trans, grills & headlights, from the LA area. Be nice if it
was an upmarket van eg Carat; body could be rusty, but pref good
front doors (if later model than my Australian 84 the tailgate
probably wouldn't fit, and of course the slider wouldn't either, in
which case these items can be rough as. Would need to be towable, so
a steering rack must be there, otherwise I wouldn't need the rack
(won't fit my RHD van, so can be faulty, no problem).

Also wouldn't need:
window regulators (either manual or electric)
rear heater
instrument cluster
good tires
alloy wheels (crappy steel is fine)
side marker lights/reflectors

WOULD want:
cruise control
taillights
front indicators
licenseplate lights
good bumpers (steel) or complete (plastic ones can be cracked but
must be complete ie repairable)
aircon would be nice (won't need engine-mounted pump)

Shipping may well make it uneconomic, but I do have a cheap shipper
from LA, so it just might be on. Price would need to be cheap...

Prices? Availability?
