1992 Vauxhall Midi Camper...New arrival :)

[olig]

Hi

This my Midi camper. General plans are to make it solid and get it through its next MOT. I'd like to maybe do a diesel conversion in the future. Then some trips to France and Spain

Cheers

Have you any pictures of the interior. I'm currently building a camper based on an L300 and always after ideas - Thanks
Good luck with yours - hope the rust bug hasn't taken hold as they did know how to corroded

in my midi i have used just kampers hinges to make a rock and roll bed they are designed for a vw but are perfect for any conversion as mine is not rear engined i have made the rear into a 12" high box so loads of storage under the rear and custom cupboards behind front seats

Its rusty everywhere along the gutters, almost like it wasnt seam sealed from new. Usual rust around the doorsteps and a bit above the window in the side door. Theres more under all the new bits of paint. I really want a set of the bedford/vauxhall windows that slide open otherwise I'll have to cook with the door open.

I'll get a pic up of the interior. Its got 2 forward facing seats and rear kitchen.

The windows was a big problem for me, tried some from a delica but they wouldnt fit. In the end I've had to get some made :-0 which is not cheap just waiting for them to arrive. Hopefully I've sorted with the rock and roll bed. When I get the windows i'll post a thread for my van

isuzu fargo! Nice to see a Midi on here I havent seen one for years. Well worth doing up.

[campermididean]

isuzu fargo, bedford midi, vauxhall midi, holden campo how many names for one van!!!

[olig]

Holden Campo is a pickup truck, like Vauxhall Brava/Frontera, its Holden Shuttle for the Midi van. GME was another brand the Midi was flogged under.

I've been reading up on Ozzy forums, they have Opel/Vauxhall Kadette/Chevettes with 4CZ1 Isuzu engines. they swap them for XE engines.

[campermididean]

sorry shuttle was what i meant!

Been searching hi and low for inspiration. Finally I translated Isuzu Fargo into Japanese and found these



I like this one

And my neglected and unfinished mini

Been busy cutting out rust and filler and fiberglass

Awesome van - The offer of my father's scrapper with the complete low mileage 2.4 TD engine, box and running gear to swap over to yours is still there - Think he's going to call the metal man in soon. :-)

if it was as awesome your bimmer I'd be pleased. Thats a really nice motor if I ever saw one.

Shame about your Dads van I'd really like it but I'd need to view it, move it, store it and get round to stripping it. Has he tried it on ebay? Would it not export well to Africa?

[olig]

More roof repairs..



More to come
