    Been on the board for some time, but never got round to posting pics of the van. Overall, it's in great condition structurally (a couple of rust bubbles starting to form). I've given it some love mechanically and it now runs really well. It's got a type 4 1700 with twin ICT's mated to a six rib box.

    Getting a new interior in March as we don't like the hessian panels and green doesn't really go with blue and white. Picked up a replacement dash which will be primed, sanded, and given copious amounts of satin black to make it look nice.

    Engine bay is OK but needs a bit of TLC (for some bizarre reason, the colour of the cables from the battery is the wrong way around) and tidying up.

    It's also in its new home as just built the pop-up garage

    A camping camper! I too have full width rock and roll envy, but I especially like the 'odd' number.

    Door step rubbers would look better than the mounting holes.

    Nice :). Full width bed for the win.

    still too short though...feet and calves hang over the edge.

    had to be wide as the dog takes up 2/3's of the space.

    My camper camps in a tent, too. Best thing I bought for it to preserve it from our weather. I bought two zipped doors, one each end, better ventilation.:thumbsup:

    Nice looking van!

    Looking at the stains on the doorcards - looks like either the plastic membranes behind them are missing, or are leaking.

    The battery wires are probably original and correct..
