Dave I reckon you will soon get shot! I am a dyed in the wool VW van man, years ago I fell in love with a Mitsubishi Delica turbo diesel 4x4 all singing all dancing J van. I realised I had made a mistake the first time I went to the beach for a weekend and saw a load of VW vans huddled together. Normally I would smile and wave and mebby join in but I realised I was suddenly an outsider  A few months later the Mitsi was replaced by another VW ;D Good luck with the dayvan, I am tempted but that experience puts me off  |

Looks like a bargain to me! I always thought these were dead cool when I was a kid.

Type 2's are ok but don't understand the snobbery that appears to go with 'em..... when you could just buy one of these.  Got to be the ultimate '70's van! Nuff said! |

I didnt realise there was snobbery, I bought it cos I liked it and have a use for it, not cos its a specific model allthough it is quite cool to have a van the same (nearly) as the A team. ;D |

MDH. LPG is an option but it has to be ready to go out on a hire if needed and as soon as you get north of Loch Lomond LPG sites are pretty rare. I am going to have a look at the layout and see if I can fit a kitchen unit in the back doors with an LPG tank underneath.
LAWSY. I'm still firmly in the VW scene but like to think I can still enjoy other scenes and makes and a chevy van has always been on my list of wants along with a Rover P5B, Jenson interceptor, Gordon Keeble, Chevy pick-up and others.

I thought about this this morning and realised I had read it wrong. Serves me right for replying when tired. pantera2075 , I was under it and couldnt see a spot of rust. Its only done 750 miles in the pas 4 years so seems to have avouded a lot of salt damage. |

No pics yet as I got stuck doing other jobs today and by the time I had washed it it was dark.
Now that I have had a good look in daylight the interior is a bit worse than I had thought but nothing a clean, curtains and new window tints wont fix.
Dawned on me today as well that I have no idea what half the switches do, what grade oil should I use and how the hell do I get into the engine?
Still, it drives great and looks good so happy days.
Dave.
