Heres a list of work I carried out ..

I bought the van as a non runner , although high compression readings on all 4 cylinders ,
After cleaning all fuses , terminals , starter motor wiring etc ... I had the engine running nice .

I completely went through the wiring , remove all the excess baggage wiring , all works now .

The bumpers , wheels and over riders and wiper arms were shot blasted and sprayed in colour matched 2k paint ..
Remove front screen , new seal to front screen ..
Prepared front panel for spraying ... sprayed to colour match from petrol flap .
Front brakes replaced , cylinders , shoes , flexis , bled complete system ..

I sourced a canvas for the pop top , and improvised it to fit .. ( its an old SO42 canvas )

The interior was given a wash , windows cleaned , wood work sugar soap washed etc ..

Bed works a treat , all catches work on the cupboards etc ..

I have welded a battery tray in and two x patches on the front cab floor ... all photographed in the link ...

This van has ONE key only for every lock and ignition :shock:

Overall ... pretty unusual , rarely seen conversion , real nice interior , strong engine , great brakes , MOT'D etc , as early as you can get bay camper.... ZERO rot , solid chassis , ready to hit the road .......

Van is In Norwich , close to NORWICH AIRPORT ..

If you are interested , call me on 07905259866

Cheers for loooking
