************ van now sold ***************

Finally back in the UK and now on EBAY!!! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320988167082#ht_704wt_1156" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Needs to go soon :D

Might have some local interest so have put off the eBay ad until next week - someone had already cut the smaller windows in when I got it, slammed hi panels are cool.

Will be going on EBay at the weekend....

As an update, I got a new MOT on Saturday, 14th July, she went straight through. The Mot tester commented that he could tell the chassis had money spent on it and was impressed with the condition - I suppose that is what you get for £3500 of work!

***** van now sold. ******** We are moving over to the USA later this year and regrettably must sell my van which is in the process of being converted to a camper. KOU 702L is a right hand drive 1972, crossover, factory Hi-Top, and started life as a panel van, so has the full height...

here's mine, got more windows in it now though. :roll: going full width RnR, fridge/seat going behind the drivers seat and a table hinging from the side wall. using the bulkhead and a cab bunk (probably modified) to make a 'bedroom' for my daughter

so i'll get the j channel from schofields and clean up and patch the side panel best i can, when i refit the side cover, does it get a fillet of filler to fill the gap and stop water getting in?

how about the side of though van though, anyone know if that panel is available? looks like it might be difficult to fabricate my own as it has a joggle on the lower edge. can't see it in the schofield catalogue, but haven't looked online yet.

I'm cutting full size windows in to the side of the van and have just the right hand rear one to go, the small window that is already fitted had rust around the lower edge, so to have a better look i have removed the side cover (non door side) and can now see that there is a lot more rust than i...

I had to replace the flexi brake hoses for the mot and when i was laying on my back under the van I noticed that the right rear hand brake cable was touching the wheel rim. It is running 4.5J Et39 vauxhall carlton wheels, but i don't think this is much different to stock. are they just tight...

Thanks chaps, I thought it needed a clout but it is also well stuck on with all the PO hand painting efforts

I'm trying to take the sliding door runner exterior cover off - the bit on the outside of the van, and also need to take the one off the non door side. it is a x-over '72, and i've taken the three screws out that you access from underneath but it isn't budging. it looks like there is a rubber...

perfect, thanks

is there a colour chart on here somewhere - or does anyone have a link to one? preferably an age related one so I can find out what my options are for 1972 blues and greens?
