Right this is my van (hopefully)

Which I am very happy with, I have done a few mods to it but intend to do a few more.

If you had the chance to spend some bucks on yours what would you treat it to.

Firstly and secondly I'd like to add alloys (for looks etc) and better front seats (for comfort)

Propex heating..........

Ah, the wish list is easy for me. It's paying for the work that's the problem.

Underfloor LPG tank for the gas appliances
2-tank diesel conversion to safely run on 100% Veg Oil
Replace the underfloor waste water tank with a large underfloor FRESH water tank + pump
1.9 Turbo Diesel engine
16" wheels (steel or alloys, not bothered) with larger tyres to match
And while we're at it, I might as well get that bodywork seen to and a nice professional respray to please Charlotte!

Right, that should see me with a decent camper for the next few years. Anyone care to lend me 5 grand?

Propex and lpg sound good, can't quite afford the LPG though, or can I not afford to be without?

Great looking van you have there mate.

I'm impressed with the windows looking like one long section.

How did you manage that?

Kev, respray complete.

ding - when doing the respray windows where out, so had them tinited, then area around windows, pillars inc top off doors was sprayed matt black and finished off with a black pin stripe to blend in. Very happy with it too!

Nice looking van mr shepster.
