Let me know what you think.

Good work, I like it a lot, How long did it take to finish?

Hi Arno,

The whole thing has taken me over three years to do,mainly because I didnt start it for a good six months after buying it.Plus the fact that I didnt have a garage at the time and all the work was done outside(on my patio to be honest) and work came to a halt when I eventually demolished the patio and replaced it with a garage,thats when the work started in earnest.
There were many nights when I would set up the welder and suddenly it would start to rain and I would have to run like an idiot to get everything back inside the van or the shed.I live on the very edge of the Brecon Beacons in Wales(literally) and it rains a lot so a lot of time was spent sitting in the van waiting for it to stop.

not many welsh people here, I think just Justin, Wil_h and Ben_h and myself. Anyone else

And on the 7th day........... God created turbochargers!

Goes like a rocket,a little too quick for the chassis(still totally standard ride height and shocks),but needs a good rolling to road session to help source a niggling missfire.It certainly gets some looks,especially when the dump valve hisses.

standard suspension!

And on the 7th day........... God created turbochargers!

Oh yeah, nice van BTW. Looks like a lot of effort has gone in!

What are those very sexy seats out of????

TurboDave

The seats are out of a rover 820 turbo and cost me a whole £40 for the pair.They look the part and hold you nice and snug at the same time.

From the beautiful village of Brynamman myself.Right on the edge of Black Mountains and a stretch of road (the A4069) which can only be described as Gods little test track.Just keep an eye out for the sheep.
