My '79 VW Motorhome.

Hopefully I have managed to attach photo's

'79 VW originally from South Africa. I brought in from Belgium three years ago. Currently converting to 1.9 TDi from a Passat.

very nice indeed

That is really nice.

May well be worth doing some under sealing and rust proofing as it is from South Africa. They build vehicles there with no corrosion protection because they don't need it there, then when brought to Europe they rot very quickly.

Really nice van , I did some work on one of those a couple of years back have to say though there is no way I could fit anything other than an original air cooled engine in one.

I know of a couple in Norfolk. All white and a mustard and cream. I am keeping an original aircooled engine so if I come to sell it has all the original bits. To a layman the van will look just as it should and have a little more oomph for those pesky hills.

Out and about with the new engine and gearbox :cool1:
