Originally a microbus for the fire service in California
Imported by Kieft’n’Klok in2005 and sold onto one of their mates who handpainted it matt brown and installed a basic camping interior.I bought it from him via Kieft’n’Klok in 2006.

Interior:

Now has a ¾ rock’n’roll bed and a basic set of homemade mdf storage units down one side in the back painted in white undercoat ready for your own colour!
Front has Porsche tombstones that are a little mouse nibbled but otherwise in good nick.
Scat shifter
Rev counter/oil temp/oil pressure/head temp gauges

Exterior:

Painted matt brown and looks superb – very unique
Rock solid underneath - spent first 37 years in California and I had it undersealed as soon as it landed
Few bumps here and there – one in the nose low down,one on the roof on offside at the front and a scrape down the bottom of the sliding door.Bit of rust appearing in the offside rear arch
Very original and never welded that I know of – absolutely rock solid
Suspension:
Lowered at the front with unknown spindles and custom vw speedshop AVO coilovers – will go lower
Rear has creative engineering adjustable spring plates
BRM wheels

Running gear:

This is where it comes into its own!
2litre Type4 engine fully rebuilt by Stateside tuning at a cost of £4280 in 2006
Genuine Jack Raby upright fan and tinware kit
Fully rebuilt gearbox by Bears motorsport with uprated final drive
Brand new Weber carbs – custom jetted from 36’s
Deep sump
External oil cooler
Facet electric fuel pump
Stainless quiet pack and header
All fully installed by Lee at Fairbank and Craven and I have receipts for all of it – approx £8k’s worth!
Will cruise all day at 65 and pulls like a dream
There is probably loads I've forgot and will edit as I remember and get better pics.

Really,really don’t want to sell but massive lifestyle change means I have to generate some serious cash for house move.Not in mad rush to sell so no silly offers.
All of the hardwork has been done I have owned some nice motors over the years but this is the only one that will genuinely make a grown man cry when it drives away.
Will get better pics up when I get chance
£9995 and I'm in Stockport just south of Manchester.


Can somebody explain to a computer moron how to post pics on my ad so I don't upset anybody?
 
You'll need to link the pics direct so they display. Thanks. :)
 
Going to take some proper pics this weekend then I'll read up on how to get them on here and hopefully post them!
Please bear with me!

Will get some more on when/if it stops raining and hopefully these have worked - if somebody can tell me how to get them on the ad I would appreciate it - and in English not computerish!

No apologies needed - I'm that computer illiterate I barely followed what was a very clear set of instructions!
When I get rest of pics done I will have a go!
Cheers.
