Nice van! good resto how long didit take? Got any pics?

hiya animal, i love the van. it's dead girly and shiney and it took 3 years to do cos we were badly let down by one vw restorer but eventually found a brilliant HGV welder/ horsebox converter who did the best resto from bare metal and didn't rip us off!!!

here are some rather gruesome pics.... you have been warned!!

:

the chassi mice have been at her!

great air con!

jacking point

We use my big wilma to camp in all year round... rain, sun and snow! :santa2: We try to go camping every month usually up to the Lake district or over to wales. i drive it most weekends and at the moment she's in my garage with a bath inside her!! LONG STORY!!

i love it to bits. It is now perfect for me and my family, julie

the trick is to get a full resto done cos
then you don't have to keep taking it off the road to get little jobs done when it breaks down
then once it's done, you get to use it all the time

It's still damn cold winter camping but with a little lecky radiator on hookup, lots of duvets and alcohol and a lickle warm terrier to snuggle up to it's bearable!!
