That scooby conversion would be epic but I can't justify the time and cost Keith. This year is going to be full on with house stuff so the only attention the van will be getting is a new engine and, as you know! lol a new roof!

Windy - get in touch with Sarran on here.....he may be able to offer advice on you engine...what he doesn't know about Aircooled isn't worth knowing :-)

Not saying your chap isn't right...but sometimes another viewpoint will assist!
