I hopefully will find time to grind some of the rust down, paint it and sell it :(

And get a new smaller vehicle, (not very difficult to do!)

ive bought a bulkhead for mine so i might see if i can get my brother in law to help me fit it tommorrow.

after that ive got a couple of bits to wire in, and that should be it.

The first thing i've got to do to the transit is finish rewiring my minor traveller...

Then start tackling rust, modify and fit a bulkhead, put metal in place of the rear windoows and start making a fold up camper

neil DO NOT buy the merc

you also know a very very good ldv site to get help from

tbh the convoy was thew worst van i owned,slow noisey,even though it has a big load space,its quite useless if ur in light haulage,like me cuz its got twin wheels u cant get a std pallet in,and the sld is to low so u cant get a hi pallet through the doors,i left mine parked up for a few weeks and the cab went mouldy,i wished i paid and extra grand and got a mk5 hi cube....

Just finished installing my second battery along with the isolator switch into the mk6.
Cost me £20 all in for the parts and i managed to get a free 1 month old Jaguar battery (90Ah from a 3.0L S-type) :twisted:
