Cool what time?, I might be able to stop by on way back with my new purchase!

 

are you sure you want to meet up with this guy?

 

arrive late morning for a picnic and BBQ lunch time

Hi there, liskeard hey. I'm from Leicester my brother in law Mark owns Cinders. You may know him?
Anyway good luck with the van, I got mine 2 weeks ago and currently looking for an engine

 

Well after a slow and noisy drive I'm back home, sorry i couldn't make cardinham, i stopped for fuel and some wanted to buy my van then and there!, a couple of campers flashed there lights at me on the A30 so that must officially make me part of the aircooled gang?!
Pictures to follow
Time for a Beer!

 

no worries have fun!

 

i see you have found Flubbers web site, keep an eye out for other meets as we are always up to something

 

and there`s also a faceache page too

 

Some more pictures
Tomorrow ill be changing the plugs, leads, points, air filter, oil filter, distributor cap+rotor arm, and check the timing, going to see if the Carbs are balanced also!, any advice before I do this would be appreciated thanks.




And a bonus it fits in the garage!

 

Hi yeah I know cinders, the mother in law send me there sometimes to pick stuff up for her, what's up with your engine?

 

I think the handbrake may need some adjustment too looking at the lever!

 

I think it does aswell as it's almost struggling to hold on a slight incline!

 

I don't have one
I bought the van with no engine or interior

 

Good looking RHD panel there matey. And the colours work really well.

 

Welcome
looks like you found a winner there man! i would love a panel, but alas, mine has windows.. one day..
keep us posted on the progress, im looking forward to seeing where this goes.

 

Yeah it was a really good find, have to say I wasn't really looking for one but I spotted it on way to a job and couldn't resist asking about it!, doing usual service stuff at the mo, im going to go for a complete colour change next summer, have to say I love it!

 

Make sure while you are at it, that the fuel lines are all good and not the braided stuff
