bus,van,camper

[transitgeoff]

just to say i love s.w.b. panel vans,and l.w.b panel vans and my favourite pastime is converting buses and the dreaded campers back to vans, i feel im doing a public service by doing this as there are far to many of those nasty smelly old campers out there and far to few panel vans, so if you have a nasty smelly old mk1 camper or bus and want to do the right thing and put it back to a van let me know, maybe i can help

Geoff, like I said in another thread, ditch the cokker and the pop top, and return em to how they were born, as load luggers.

PS, do you perform this public service on minibuses too?

[transitgeoff]

yes Fred best thing to do, i saw a s.w.b. panel at Enfield Pagent the weekend that had the rear windows removed and steel panels fitted without trying to hide the fact, it looked great much better than some old smelly camper/bus

[FredTransit]

In that case I might have a candidate for ya! Impressive rust, no?

[transitgeoff]

yes but funny lookin g mk1 eh Fred

[FredTransit]

SORRY, thought it was ANY minibus/camper!!! Thje title didn't say jsut Mk1.

Hi Fred, you should check my profile, well so should i i think it says i like all mk1 Fords but i specially like Transit mk1 panel vans s.w.b.

Yeah but most of them wouldn't be here today if they hadn't been converted to (easy life) campers in the 1st place!!!

Just thinking Fred, that Mk2 bus of yours would make a good police van for TV and film work, be great at shows to, new paint, black back windows, stripes and blue lights...bingo its done!

geoff this is why i went to germany to get my mk1 twin wheeler, not many left over here! i like the look of the twin wheeler there is just something about it! and twin side loaders and a tailgate is a big bonus!

I did actually put mirror finish on the windows, but not happy with the result (I rushed it). You can't get the mirror film between the sliding windows. Paint shop next week (stage 1 blow over just for now), BTW and I am trying to track down the seats which may be hiding in the Church's garage.
