A mate has a GU patrol chassis with all suspension and running gear minus the engine and also come with rear tray. He also has a complete 45 series fibureglass cab which needs sanding and painting.

Would $7000 be a good price? If not how much would u pay for the lot?
Was thinking about it as a project ;)

Thanx
James

$100 per tonne at a scrap yard.

"Call the bluff" Call back in 6 weeks to see if it's still available!

If the 40 series cab is complete and in good condition i would pay $1000 for it, no more. as for the gu chassi its realistically worth around $3000 max

Sorry guys, I haven't been to a scrap metal yard in 2 years!

The bits are not worth $7000!

sounds like a GU with no engine, but complete apart from that, eg wheels the works.. which is worth a tad more than 3g's.. maybe I read the ad wrong

Does it have a body? Or is it just rolling chassis? :?

Wouldnt pay anywhere near 7k. It will probably cost you that much again to get it on the road by the time you add up all the extras.

Buy a petrol GQ for not much, toss the body and you have a chassis which is almost identical to the GU.
