chris r Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Discuss away. Someone buy my bike so I can afford to work on any of my projects lol. I'm super stocked with how clean this van is, All the fluids are the right colour and smell. Cruise control and AC MAYTE what else could you want. I'll give it a tidy up, fit the parts/change all the fluids then take it for compliance. The only thing I have found wrong is the steering wheel flops around a bit, I think the adjuster is loose or a retaining bolt has worked its way out. I'll have a look at that at some point Later I will make a removable mattress base for it. I've got a big deep cycle battery and a VSR i've had for years so will probably end up chucking them in this. I've also got some lpg stuff I've been hoarding but I'll see how thirsty it is first. Does anyone have and friendly LPG guys who will let me do the work and they check over it/give it a yeah na Link to build fred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The plan is to get it legal then enjoy it for a bit then possibly sell it. I really want a apache at some point and I've got too many cars as it is now 6 minutes ago, 73crownwagon said: I've got a LPG guy.

8ball Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 If your putting a bed frame in the back get some heavy duty slides/tracks for it so you can slide it out the back door. Makes loading stuff easier (when its not being used as a bed) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris r Posted May 23, 2017 Author Share Posted May 23, 2017 Bloody good idea. My uncle had a BBQ on rollers in his Bedford. That was good to use so I might steal that idea too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8ball Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 If you're building this as a camper van, grab a small tv. Over here we have them about 21" or so with built in dvd player etc and have usb port aswell as hdmi. They run off a dc transformer pack. From 240v ac - 12vdc. Dump the pack in a box and run the tv off the vans 12v system. Then throw a 1Tb hard drive in there full of movies, tv shows etc and you're set.
