Yes, it did, though when my mate had it, it had a Di placed in it, that good it wasn't even bolted in! :shock: :shock:

It died due to chassis rot :(

Back to MY van :wink: :lol:
fitted my propshaft this evening - kindly donated by baconsdozen! thanks a lot kevin!! :D
apart from that not much done apart from thinking/planning/wondering if i can convert the back axle to take disk brakes see this thread!!
my main reasoning behind this is if i re-drill the hubs the studs no longer go through the brake drum :( by converting to disks they will, also disks are better :D
