This van has shown us some fantastic trips over the few years we had him. We bought him in 2020 at the start of lockdown #1 and spent the following year working on getting the inside just how we wanted it. Full details of the work we’ve below but we put a lot of love into it. We arrived in New Zealand in February and the van has been in storage in a warehouse in Edinburgh over winter until May when we decided to sell. He’s had a new starter motor and battery fitted to get him going again, and now lives on my parents’ driveway in Dundee. Details of work done. Reconditioned engine put in around the 250k mark by previous owner. Interior work we’ve done. Completely stripped old interior behind the cab. Rust treated and waxoyled the bare metal of the inside, including floor. Fully insulated with reflective tape, dodomat sound deadening foam and dodomat insulation. Ply lined and stretch carpeted. Additional removable sound insulation mat for engine cover. 12mm marine ply topped with cork tiles. Re-fabricated rock n roll bed into two seater to allow for side unit.

We had all the rust cut out and replaced with new steel, including under the windshield where there were holes coming straight through, between the front grills and bumper. This is why the front of the van is a different colour! – Van has been waxoyled annually underneath. Last done June 2022.
