first van

that looks like inverbervie site ? the good thing about your van the old ford engine is good ,as you can fit any old ford engine in it ,,
if its wind and water tight it will do fine
go for full membership its worth it
 
I think it looks great, The main thing is that you can get away and have fun. And remember people in the big posh vans can only do the same as you wash, cook and sleep lol. Enjoy it hope we meet up some time. :drive: :drive:
 
Nice van

We have a custom built ldv van, witch a has a ford engine. We have been out three times this year so far. We have been lovely and warm, (I added some insulation last year).
Your van looks great. ?? Where were you staying in the picture with the table and chairs.
 
Nice tidy van!

I'd have been quite happy with one like that - in fact was looking for one, but couldn't find one without heaps of tin weevil around the rear suspension hangars etc - every one I saw was bad - too bad for me to tackle. Been told since that the LWB ones don't suffer as much as they were made in a different factory to the SWB.

Like you and RedTed above I liked the Tranny reliable running gear, and got an LDV myself in November instead (less tin weevil believe it or not!).

Have Fun!

It was a great taster van to see if we would enjoy the lifestyle (which of coarse we do). Kept the van for 6 months then bought a ducato panel van conversion (pics to follow) then upgraded again this year to a coachbuilt with all mod cons
