C S W 1987

OK My project at the moment is 110 CSW from my previous posts, but cant seem to find them with problems with search and Content on site at the moment.
Anyway thinking of changing it to 110 Pickup or Van as it will be much easier for a novice like me then trying to fit and line up second row doors ect, also Im only working from shed with generator as my only power.
SO Thinking of selling a few bits for anyone building a County. , but do not have a clue what to ask for them, I have two very good second row doors, they do need the usual weld on bottoms but Very little as you can see in photos, also I have the pillars which are good too, and just about every brand new panel from Y R M to fix them.
I also have a Very Good Condition chassis, apart from the rear crossmember this Chassis is in excellent condition, Never been welded, It needs new crossmember but there is one here with it Brand new just a little surface rust with standing for a while. selling this as I don't have the facilities to weld rear crossmember on I E. no electric. and also plan to save up for Galvanised one.
Also both rear tub sides in great condition.
I have looked at similar on Ebay ect and have seen these parts up for really high prices, I don't want to ask to much so can anyone give me a rough idea of what they are worth??
Cheers

I might be interested in the b/c posts, pending some more photos / details. Im getting back to my own 110 project after looking underneath our daily driver last week, and posted on facehook looking for a cheap and nasty set only earlier today!

(i mainly want them to take measurements off)

re: 2nd row doors - if theyre not all rusted up around the catches, theyre maybe 50 quid a side on ebay if you are lucky. if the catches are gone too, then somtimes they dont sell at 35. the skins on yours dont look terrible, but i think that people often just spend the cash on sp4x4 ones rather than all the time.

rear doors are 50 ish in normal used / rusty condition - maybe a ton if yours is cleaner than most

rooves about a ton if in nice condition

dont know about tubs

if you have the bench seats in the back, somtimes they seem to sell for good money, but other times pocket change

bits of csw trim will probably fetch you somthing. head liners are always advertised for a lot, but i have no idea if they ever sell.

keep me posted on the b/c posts - like i say, i was asking after them only earlier today. i might even be interested in one of the 2nd row doors, but i cant remember which one i dont yet have a replacement for. probably only interested if the lock area isnt as bad as the one i alreddy have though!



edit:

ive just looked at your photos again - am i right in that your c-posts are scrapped (i think i saw yrm repair sections) - what about the front end, where they bolt onto the bulkhead foot - is the section between the foot and the b post still original - as in i could take a template from it etc?

ps. get 2nd opinion also - or just check ebays completed listings

I'm very interested in the YRM replacement Sill and C posts.

Let me know.

Do you have a use for a van or pick up? Are you going to keep it once rebuilt?

I would probably have more use for a pickup so If I decide to go this way will probably go for it. but like I say Im really just thinking about it for the moment.

See what others say, but if you are thinking of selling it you might get better money for rebuilding it as original.

As mentioned, shiny csw are worth more than shiny vans.

But on the other hand, it costs so much more to get a csw into the "shiny" category, so I guess it evens up a little.

I wanted a high cap 110, but my partner was on about children, so have ended up with a very ropey csw, when the same money would have bought a van that would have been finished by now!

I know Mate but Like I say Im limited to building with no electric ect and little knowledge, so could realy do with something a bit easier then the c s w ,

I use my CSW as a work vehicle, I can highly recommend keeping the rear passenger doors as they provide easy access to stuff that might otherwise get lost in a panel van.

Don't put yourself down. Who knows what you can achieve! I did mine all outdoors on the drive with a double socket cable extension.

If you are limited on resources you could get a mobile welder to come and fit the crossmember and then just build up your current chassis into a hardtop/pickup. All you need is a couple of chassis brackets to mount the different tub, a tub and the sills. I am currently in the process of doing this with a friend on his.

If you have storage, you could build the truck cab to get you on the road, and keep the CSW parts (which doesnt help me, obviously!) for the option of sorting them at leisure?
