I'm looking for a 78-79 transit, preferably minibus (although i can convert her myself) fair condition prefered although must run well enough to get home to ireland.

Engine type un important as i plan a conversion to modern diesel.

Boby preferably sound but plan respray so neednt be perfect.

Any length considered.

Can swap/ part ex a Calibra if interested.

Either a minibus or van (have seats to convert it), seen the camper for sale, looks good but wouldnt fit us all in!

Probably not cheaper but the aus' cars i've seen are in excellent condition and theres the hassle of the lhd thing.

Thats about right, a mate of a mate does a few and gets at least 2 cars in each container so the price drops.

Would consider a european car if the rhd conversion was straight forward enough tho.
