Thanks, Mr. Squirrel.

Guess I did not make my query clear. The vehicle in question is already in my custody. I was just getting opinions to help me decide at what level to restore the van.

Cheers,

All which likely contributed to the former owner giving or selling the van. Emissions issues may only require a major tune-up and a new cat. Probably needs a master cylinder too. There's small dings here and there and interior a little scruffy. Power mirrors but everything else manual.

Doesn't matter to me because I have documentation why it was junked. But since this is one project too many, need to eventually sell.
