hi all, just thought I would upload some pictures of my very sorry 1980 van, deadline is london to brighton in may, although it might not be sprayed.

the shell is now solid and 1275 installed with 8.4 discs, I have managed to fit 10" wheels over the top!

this week, fuel tank on

rear doors on, when I purchased it had a piece of sheet steel over which dis not open and had a sunroof as a window

brake pipes replaced, waiting till saturday for the wife to be off work, so I can beleed,

engine instalation completed

tomorrow, grappeling with the wiring loom, and hopefulley attempt to start .
still have to finish fitting the flip front as front end was crashed.

let me know what you think as every one else thinks I am mad for bothering with the old girl.

spent the day on the wiring and the old girl now sparks at the plugs , the only problem is I put oil in to see if she would run and have a leak out the bottom:(
