I have just got myself a rater tatty 1988 mk3 2.5 di camper with some interesting paintwork. Let's call it Bristol camo
.I will be posting away later for lots of help as this bag of poop needs a lot of work. Or more to the point I have a lot planned for it should I keep my sanity and have enough funds to maintain my foolish desires.
I use to have a mk5 2.5 di long ago that I stuck a turbo on. It later died as it was a scrapyard challenge-esk affair with limited funds and materials. That van had the bosche ve pump. This new van has the lucas cav colander pump, well that's what I have worked out from the evidence I can see left on my workshop floor.
I am daydreaming of popping in a 6 cylinder petrol engine should I find a suitable doner vehicle. This will also depend on what information I can retrieve from here from other similar projects.
See, I have some medium sized hills here by Dartmoor and chugging up them in first wondering if I am going continue up or go down backwards while still in 1st is a little disturbing, especially in the high grockel season when back isn't really an option.
