So in my quest to own a camper I have been saving my wages into my fund and looking online this morning I have just found this....

"1979 VW Camper 2 litre
1979 2 Litre VW Camper for sale. Pictures available at http://www.grenbartley.co.uk/pages/camper . Needs work to body and needs new alternator. Other than that, engine will run forever. Comes with basic internal conversion with bed, CD player, double gas hob and fridge. Also has a large awning and two new bumpers to be fitted. Needs a good home and a little tlc. Can be easily made ready for the coming Summer. Accepting offers in the region of £1500. Currently in Nottingham."
It looks OK, but I wouldn't want to waste my time chasing a possible early purchase is its going to cause more aggravation than use. The main issues I can see are...
1) Are alternators costly to purchase/install?
2) Does the rust look repairable, I assume it may be quite bad underneath too.
3)How much, roughly, is it to move a camper from Nottingham to Bristol?
I also know a paint respray is going to cost a lot, and there will be other things to change.
Any thoughts and advice is greatly appreciated. Cheers, Adam.
