hardly any bids for it in townsville "
Yes you are right not too many people would take on a challenge like you did in regional areas , so the smaller out of town auctions are agood choice. After the big hail storm here in Brisbane afew years back there was very late model multivan which was hail damaged severely , I had the same idea to get it for mechanicals as my work van was getting a bit tired .It sold for aridiculous price as there were lots of guys / panel beaters trying to buy it , I walked away .
