it worked folks!
Thanks to all you lovely people and many more on the other transit pages we all know.
Good news and hopefully restore some faith.
Police arrested the thief and recovered the van today.
Collectively we made it too hot to handle and the van had its correct reg no etched in the windows and someone spotted it and reported it.
Big thanks to everyone who helped.
Thanks to the police for a good job in hard times

:D

How does it go with the Janspeed turbo? How much boost is it running?
Glad you got it back

hi thanks for the good vibes folks. van is back it was running an original 1988 205 pinto with an intercooled air research turbo through a vv carb blow through all state of the art in 1988 by turbo technics It made fine made boost but used to eat plug leads due to poor heat management and spent the time thrashing itself to drag the fat van about so i decided to swap out the turbo pinto for a 2.9 efi which is a far better motor for this size vehicle
so the full pinto turbo set up will be for sale including radiator gearbox exhaust system and propshaft.
I cant express how much help everyone was and how effective social media was in getting the return of the van when it was stolen.
cheers
