This is my darling wifes bus (so i tell her), she wanted to be able to stand up in a camper so i think she wanted a poptop but i got a hitop instead, big shout out to Rich (bigbulli) in finding van in Portugal and a great deal was done ! Im going stock with dove blue enjoy the pics - as the restorer says"ITS ONLY METAL" the bus is rusty but he is good!

yes i know its rotten but it is a hitop, i will be making a few calls to Mr Schofield , autocraft and the green funky metal panels

Graphics are coool esp in Dove blue!

The van had a serious camping interior ,2 sets of cooking hobs , fridge ,sink,rock n roll bed, cupboards and wardrobes galore even a showe unit incorporated in tailgate with 2 water tanks underneath -a serious camping van with loads of insulation !but it all had to go sorry
