APV minivan (the dustbuster body) Al wants it gone, doesnt have $ to put into it at this point

LF accident damage, min needs a HL capsule, the hood closes, dont look pretty but ben kenobi is holding the hood hinge to the hood with the help of plywood.

drivers door only opens from inside handle, P doors (cargo) work fine rear hatch has to be opened from the inside (panel removed to get to linkage, still have panel)

major running/driving issue is that coolant is leaking externally from the front head gasket, we had put on new LIM gaskets, oil pump drive Oring etc when he got the van and a flush/driving revealed the true leak point.

trans shifts fine, cant recall but there's ~100-120k on the van, good rubber. not gonna lie we only did a cursory inspection, looks like an outter tie rod is loose, dont know cond of brakes.
it does run and drive, you have to add coolant daily and it will start to overheat after enough coolant has leaked out.

pull the Tstat and/or replace the front HG and it should be fine, no coolant in oil and you can reuse the LIM gaskets to save $

150$ have title. bring coolant and you can drive it away...a huge + is that the tank is full of gas
